Designing, developing and supporting an effective reporting system of leading and lagging KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) is complicated.

We can help demystify this puzzle and put your team on the track to smooth sailing. Join us and accelerate your team’s understanding and effectiveness in designing, implementing and monitoring critical KPIs using powerful performance dashboards. Learn how to tailor your dashboards to perfectly fit the needs of your C-suite, middle managers, and line and field personnel.
This presentation focuses on how the finance function can leverage analytics, especially predictive ones, embedded in their financial reporting, planning, and decision making. Finance and accounting professional are typically considered to be very quantitative. They are by nature number-crunchers. But collecting, validating, and reporting data is not the same thing as analyzing the information that can be gleaned from data. Most organizations are drowning in data, but starving for information.
A common misconception about performance management is that focuses on “what happenedâ€, providing internal information via dashboards with drill down capability, with an emphasis on "slicing and dicing" past performance data
