Executive Dashboards: Elements of Success

Overview Management dashboards have risen to the top of business and IT priority lists in recent months - and for good reason. Dashboards have become an essential enabler in sustaining a highly competitive business. Why? Quite simply, by consolidating essential IT service quality metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and business process health into one interactive view, dashboards provide a real-time and historical window into overall business performance. What's more, because dashboards can also provide actionable information, business and IT managers can more effectively manage the areas of business for which they are responsible. This is especially necessary in today's post-Enron business environment where business and IT managers are being held to higher levels of accountability.
