The dashboard you see above is a simple, interactive dashboard a company uses to help them monitor the metrics that matter in their business. The dashboard is interactive, so you can play with it. You can:
- Mouse over the visuals to get additional information about each metric
- Move between the five pages by clicking at the bottom center of the dashboard
- Expand the size of the dashboard by clicking in the bottom right corner
- Use the “slicer” in the top right corner to dynamically change the time periods being presented.
Check out this short video where I show you how to use the dashboard.
I’m a huge fan of using cool financial dashboards to highlight the metrics that really matter in business.
New technology has made dashboards super powerful and amazingly easy to use (and low cost). I absolutely love the focus they bring to the work of improving profitability and cash flow in a business. It can help you:
- Use the Monthly Financial Rhythm of business to highlight the metrics that really matter
- Create and present compelling visual, interactive dashboards
- Make your dashboards shareable in the cloud
- Create drilldowns that impress and enlighten
- Make your dashboards available on mobile devices so insights are available anytime, anywhere, from any device
I will be presenting a complimentary webinar on March 15, 2018 to show you some specific examples of cool dashboards. You’ll be surprised what you can create with the new breed of Business Intelligence (BI) technology and tools available today.
