Merits of a dashboard

“ I already get this information from

another report!

Why a dashboard? ”

Business Dashboard

Existing reports…

May only be text-based – a dashboard gives you visual displays

Often gives you a snapshot of current period only – a dashboard shows you trends

Are “silos” of information – a dashboard allows all key performance indicators (KPI’s) to be placed in one view to help understand inter-relationships among KPI’s and better hone in on problem areas

Oak’s Simple 5-Step Approach

1) Your company’s unique key performance metrics are identified

• We have ideas and checklists for you

2) We find out where this information resides in your company

• Various databases, manual information

3) We set up a “test” dashboard, inputting your historical data

• The past 12 months, for example,for trends analysis

Business Dashboard

Oak’s Unique Approach

4) You use the dashboard for a few months, relying on manual-input of information

• You let us know if it indeed captures what you want and is displayed like you want it

• Let’s not integrate until you’re happy with everything

5) Final dashboard with automated data capturing is implemented

Data for all KPI’s are manually

entered on one simple

form
