You need to have a vision, then measure time of being blocked. If you're blocked, you're not progressing towards the vision. If you have a team of sufficiently competent people, you should expect to achieve your vision eventually.

Problem of many organizations is they are progressing without a vision and have no idea when progress gets blocked. Since nobody really measures blockage, workers typically drop the thing that got blocked and go chase metrics on something else and don't tell anyone.
