Dashboards: measure less, but better
A useful dashboard often fits on a single page. How to choose the indicators that genuinely inform your teams’ decisions.

Visualisation tools make it possible to produce dozens of charts in a few clicks. The risk is drowning decision-makers in information instead of informing them.
Start from the decisions
List the decisions made every week, then the information needed to make them. Each indicator must answer a specific question.
Make it reliable before displaying it
One wrong indicator destroys trust in the entire dashboard. Document the origin and calculation method of every figure.
Adjust the level of detail
Management needs trends, operational teams need action lists. The same dashboard does not serve everyone.
Alert rather than monitor
Rather than making everyone check the tool, send an alert when the indicator moves outside its usual range.
