Creating a Company Dashboard

3/13/2019

 
The best numbers to put on your dashboard are the specific numbers that define success for your company. Look at the things going on in your market and industry. What are your company’s trends for the last few years? What are your customers and employees saying? These answers will help determine your dashboard metrics.
Keep the amount of information to a handful of critical numbers so your attention isn’t diluted. Just because you CAN measure something doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Less is more.

Don’t focus only on financial measures. Operational numbers (web hits, turnaround time, customer satisfaction, etc.) can be especially helpful in analyzing progress toward your most important goals.
​

Finally, once you have a dashboard, use it. It’s not decor – it’s an accountability tool. Put a name next to each number – the person who “owns” that result. Go over the numbers regularly with your team and strive to achieve each target.
