Designing and Implementing Dashboards to Enhance Critical Decision Making

Do you have a lot of data but do not know what to make of it? Are you finding it difficult to make good decisions despite having a lot of data? Do you have problems identifying which data can help you make better decisions that will drive better results?

Operations, Transformation & Transition Specialists (OTTS) can support you in designing and implementing world-class dashboards.

Your business decisions should be backed by solid data. However, not every piece of data will help. You have to identify the data that can help make your decisions. Moreover, you need access to the data in a form that will tell the entire story. You should also be able to get an overview of all the data that can support you to make the right decisions. This overview should be in a form that allows you to easily understand the data... In order to meet the needs of your business, OTTS will produce a comprehensive dashboard that allows you to visualize the correct data for better decision making.

How will OTTS accomplish this?

It is not just enough to have all your data in an easy to understand form. Your dashboard also needs to incorporate key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics that can help you make informed decisions. You will need multiple dashboards for different job roles and management positions. Each will have its own KPIs and metrics displayed for driving the proper execution.

For instance, your executive needs will require dashboards providing an overview of the status of each department, overall sales, financial performance, and a dashboard that shows KPIs for the business as a whole. On the other hand, each of your managers will need dashboards to understand the performance of their respective department(s). Consider for example, the sales team. An overall view of the real-time sales performance of the organization is essential for monitoring performance. They will also need to know the status of the various deals, negotiations, and contracts in progress. Furthermore, monitoring market and product segmentation will require dashboards for visualizing sales in different geographical regions. In addition, dashboards for monitoring leads and the performance of each of your products across geographical areas are all beneficial to your sales team.

The OTTS leadership team has visited several leaders at companies these past few months, where we heard and seen not only executives but also managers and their staff struggle to get a handle on their business. It comes down to the leaders/managers inability to make good critical decisions that will support the company in reducing cost, improving service levels and increasing operating income (O/I).

The poor decision-making comes from the data the management staff has displayed in front of them when making their decisions. OTTS we see, the data the management staff is using is wrong in some cases but, in most cases, the data is lacking many key elements to help lead the management staff in making the best decision for the company.

In a lot of these companies, if you ask the management team if they are able to hit 100% on all the goals showing in their dashboard they currently used to run their business. “Can you as a leader/leaders state for certain that the company will be successful?” Usually, the response we get back is, “mmmm I don’t know.” Hint! Hint! This is a key point that should be noted.
