Overview

A well-organized KPI dashboard ties all your performance indicators together in one place, so you can easily compare and analyze them. Because these indicators are usually divided into high-level and low-level KPIs, laying them out on a single dashboard helps to monitor the process of smaller goals flowing into bigger ones.

Application

The experts from intelligent business performance firm, Bernard Marr & Co., list the following steps as essential when working on a KPI dashboard:

1. Keep your dashboard to a single screen – the goal of creating a KPI dashboard is to get a quick and concise survey of the business performance and potential threats.
2. Only include the most critical, insightful KPIs – this will force you and your team to really focus on the most important information about the venture's performance.
3. Make the dashboard easy to navigate and understand – don't dump as much information onto one page as you possibly can and make sure to arrange the data strategically, aesthetically and logically.
4. Concentrate on information delivery and comprehension – don't use intricate designs and don't introduce variety that doesn't provide much value, the experts recommend.
