Dashboards articulate the critical link between strategy management and operations management MOVE MODEL MAP THEME linked to PROCESS PROCESS linked to METRICS PROCESS supports THEME METRICS improve PROCESS • Identify operational processes key to executing strategy and manage those processes using analytical models rather than instincts • Analytical models identify drivers to the process and display these drivers on a dashboard accessible to managers that can make an impact • Drivers include not only financial (lagging) metrics, but operational, environmental, demographic, and other situational leading indicators • Models will be updated with actual results and the cause-and-effect correlations will be improved • Dashboards tailored based on the user and the ability to “drill-down” from a strategic objective to a low-level operational metric maintained across the enterprise value chain
With advances in technology, next-generation dashboards can now fulfill the role of full-fledged performance management tools Advanced visualization methods, with ability to represent large, complex data sets, makes information “actionable” Alignment to strategy – focused on processes that are key to overall strategy execution Ability to display data from multiple sources, mix of quantitative and qualitative information Pre-defined navigation paths to facilitate analysis and improve user experience, improved audit trails and data transparency
