Recommendation

If your organization already has a good handle on internal data collection and information technology, researcher and consultant Wayne W. Eckerson says it’s time to consider taking the next step: implementing performance dashboards. This entails using dashboard software applications to integrate information that follows your business processes with information on your strategic objectives to create a performance guide for employees’ activities and priorities. Eckerson’s handy book explores how dashboards can help your staffers make their everyday actions consistent with long-term organizational goals. Though the book is directed toward businesspeople who deal with information technology, getAbstract finds it perfectly useful for managers and executives who are generally interested in performance improvement initiatives.

Take-Aways

  • To activate your strategy and achieve your goals, use performance dashboards.
  • These business intelligence (BI) tools work best in an organization that is ready for cultural and technical change.
  • Good dashboard software provides clean, simple displays of relevant data.
