The Power of Dashboarding

March 1, 2010

Each day, the first place I visit on the web is this blog.  I’m the admin…the person behind scenes.  I’m the one that removes the spam (like taking out the trash really), edits tags, makes sure that the posts are tweeted and ensures that the post tagging is consistent.  The other thing that I do is look at how people get to our site.  I look at the keywords that they used and the sites they left to get here.  One thing I noticed this morning is that “John Bostick” was a hot topic.  :-D   As a matter of fact, one of the searches led me to an article on another site that I did not realize John had written.  It got me to wondering, “What else has John written that we haven’t posted here?”  I decided at that very moment to go searching for John’s other material and provide links back here.  I’ll be doing it all week.  I hope you take a look.

Speaking of Dashboarding…what is your corporate dashboard doing for you?  Are you learning new things about your services and products?  Does it help you to manage things differently?  You read above how thefuturevalueofbusiness.com dashboard helped me to manage my posts differently.  I’d love to hear your stories of how your corporate dashboard caused you to change how you managed your business.  Share them below!

In the meantime…I hope you enjoy John’s posts this week.

    It would be interesting to see some responses from readers as to why companies (managers, VP’s and Sr. Executives) ask for reports for common business information. Or worse yet, generate these reports themseles. With all the data integrity issues associated with spreadsheets, timing of reports and the acutal source of the reports it seems to me that a demand or edict would be placed to only supply or see data from one known source in a standard visual format.
