An enterprise solution to take all of the information and reconcile it is necessary to be able to present it. Ultimately, we want to be able to make all of the information that we've requested to be acted upon and/or monitored visually and graphically represented for us to use.
This can be established by using:
- Red, Amber, Green (RAG) charts
- Trend analyses
- Pie charts
- Bar charts
- Risk analyses
These are depicted in the following figure:
Although this dashboard is simple to understand, we can imagine how many PIRs the leaders would like to know. A recommendation would be to:
- Have a main dashboard with items displayed that are agreed upon with the main stakeholders
- Have the ability to have a stakeholder customize their dashboard to show what data they would like to see
At the end of the day, strategic leaders want to be able to easily identify where the issues are based on the information that is requested to be collected. A properly configured and customized dashboard provides the information to the stakeholders in a meaningful way so that they can monitor, track, and decide on the different items/issues that they focus on.
