What CEO’s Want And Need To Know

Your organization may already have lots of metrics and dashboards but do they really have the information a CEO needs and wants to know?

CEO’s want to be able to get a complete picture of progress on initiatives, goals, and projects when ever they want NOT when you can provide the information. So stop publishing dashboards that don’t answer the questions below and implement one that can answer the questions anytime, anywhere.

When CEO’s look at dashboards they look at key areas and check to see if the answers to the questions below are available:

• Financials
  • Are we under or over budget?
  • How much money is being spent in one department over another?
• Planning vs. Actuals
  • Are we behind or ahead schedule?
  • Will be meet the published dates?
• Goal Objectives
  • How close/far are we from meeting our objectives?
• Headcounts
  • Do we have enough resources to meet our objectives?
  • Do we have the right resources in place to meet our objectives?
• Comparisons
  • Which area is doing better than another?
  • What has one area done differently than another?
  • Is this the standard trend or is there something out of the norm?

A CEO wants to be able to know how his/hers organization is doing at a high-level as well as have the ability to drill down. If there is an area that is showing negative numbers a CEO will want to see what is causing the negative numbers. CEO’s will also need to be able to see the trending of their organization in order to see where changes might be needed before an issue occurs.
