Description
This dashboard shows an example of cross-department (could be cross-company as well) profit and loss analysis. For each department (“Location”) you click on in the left pane, the entire dashboard changes focus to that particular department. In the example above, “Charlotte” is selected, and the entire dashboard then changes to show the performance of this department. At the bottom of the dashboard the user can do what-if analysis on headcount and revenue by simply moving the green bar on the headcount slider and turning the revenue radio button. The gauges show actual to budget variance for three key performance indicators.
Management Value
The dashboard provides a single screen point and click interface to all the departments in a company. With a “static” reporting tool (like Excel), the same amount of reports and graphics would have required about 80 reports/pages! In addition, users can perform what-if analysis right in the dashboard. The charts, gauges and other indicators offer color-code alerts to quickly focus a manager's attention on important variances and exceptions.
