Dashboarding Pays Off

Per this audio podcast of the January 2022 research briefing, dashboarding works because everybody in the company can compare progress against agreed-upon metrics and work together to make course corrections.

LISTEN TO THE RESEARCH

In a digital business transformation, knowing where you are is as important as knowing where you want to go. To know where you are requires two important types of measures: those that indicate transformation success, such as progress and value creation; and those that track effectiveness at building capabilities future-ready companies must have to thrive in the digital era. The best tool we have seen companies use to know where they are is real-time dashboarding. In this briefing we share MIT CISR research on dashboarding, illustrating our findings using a case study from Schneider Electric.
