The power of dashboards is that the information about how your business is running is at your fingertips. You don’t have to compile tons and tons of data and spend hours and hours tallying up totals to see how your business is doing. Dashboards allow you to see clearly what’s working and what isn’t.
A great example of this was when I was presenting to high level management on Salesforce.com. After reviewing the functionality, I showed how dashboards allow users and managers to see quality reports of real time data. One of the executives stopped me and pointed out that, for the month we were looking at, cancellations exceeded sales up to that point. I remember thinking that this executive has no idea how to use Salesforce.com, but already gained insight as to a trouble area and would be able to dig deep into the problem with just a few clicks of a button. How powerful is that?!?!
