Description

    This is a basic introduction to the use of dashboards for Business Performance Management (PM) and Business Intelligence (BI). Dashboards are used to: "Run a Business by the Numbers, Improve it Constantly and Project What Will Happen to be Ahead of the Competition!" 

    Dashboards are an advanced tool of management to move a person, company and department away from low level management techniques, like micromanagement, to more advanced techniques like Management By Exception (MBE). They are an auto-pilot as well as a way to look into the future by seeing trends and connections in cause and effect. Dashboards allow you to get your business down to a science with known inputs and outputs of key processes that create value. They set up a business for constant improvement in quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness. 

    Every business with more than a handful of employees needs a dashboard. Every department with more than five or six employees should also have a dashboard. This course tells you how and why they work magic to improve a company, team and department.

Very basic and repetitive. Would have liked to see at least one example of what a "good" dashboard looks like.

A business strategist with the same business industry experience as your company knowing the five disciplines of the company along with experience in building dashboards is worth the investment.

If you know anything about dashboards this probably isn't for you. Analogies were good and fit nicely into the context of the presentation. However, there is a lot of repetition and use of business vernacular without the detail behind it. MBE / MBO must have been stated a couple of times in each module, often times without adding value or used as a pitch for another course. Showing bad dashboards but not good ones or trying to describe 12 columns of numbers when you could just show an image of it. Overall, there's value to be gleaned but it's sparse.
