Fact... company
CEOs, presidents, and owners have a large and varied workload to contend with
on a day to day basis. It’s never easy being the face of your company and with
so many meetings to govern, connections to strengthen, and decisions to make,
one of the last things you likely want to contend with is the plethora of
reports that pile up daily. While your heart may always be elsewhere, the fact
remains that there is vital data to be mined from these reports, even if it
means spending endless hours weekly sifting through them in order to pull the
data that is most important and interpret it properly.
It is easy
for company leaders to be sucked into the world of data mining to the point
where they lose touch with their employees, customers, and company vision.
However, when clear communication from the top of the employee hierarchy
becomes muddled or ceases entirely, chaos and confusion ensues which is often
redirected to customers. This is why utilizing a system for streamlined reporting is so crucial. By executing a
strategy for streamlined reporting, you will not only shave many hours off your
work week, but will be able to focus on leading with greater vigilance.
The results you create for
your business are directly tied to your communication skills!...This is why you
must free yourself from constantly relearning and interpreting the language of
data mining and focus more on using the power of language to boost your sales!
It
has become easier than ever before to build an intelligent dashboard online that
can be programmed with customized algorithms to sift out the most important key
performance indicators and other vital information that are locked within the
dozens of pages of reporting data received daily. Once mined, this information
can be arranged in a way that is easy to access and understand by other
executives and employees as well as anyone else you might need to present it
to. A technology based streamlined reporting system can help you pull metrics
that would have taken hours to organize manually in mere minutes or even
seconds.
Once
you are using a streamlined reporting dashboard to identify performance data regarding
your business, you will also have the means to track it in order to identify
shifting trends in your company. Whether you are looking at overall website
performance, SEO data, customer fluctuations, gross sales, net gain/loss YTD,
or other vital statistics, allowing technology to organize the reports will
allow you to focus entirely on intelligently reacting to the results discovered.
Consequently, your business can develop resolutions early on; rather than becoming
overwhelmed by a potential problem before an opportunity is given to make a
move in the right direction.
In
addition to helping to helping your company from being surprised by large
issues developing right under its nose, streamlining the reporting process can
also help to increase global ownership of goals and problems amongst everyone
in the organization through the creation of multiple dashboards. For instance,
an executive dashboard could be created to focus exclusively on key elements relative
to senior executives. Meanwhile, a second dashboard open to all employees could
focus primarily on operational metrics.
When you can help the whole team become passionate and committed your goals, everyone wins!...But It all comes back to
communication!
This
process will not only clarify the chain reactions regarding how one area
affects others, but will also help employees at every tier of the organizational
structure to become part of the solution simply because they will have clearer
access to the data surrounding each issue. Ultimately, this creates fewer
burdens for senior management, supports better communication throughout the
internal customer structure, and greater efficiency overall.
To
further emphasis the relationship between streamlined reporting systems and
communication, you will also find that using such a system makes it easier to
conduct various kinds of business meetings. Whether you are explaining a new
assignment to a single employee, making a presentation to investors, or having
a board meeting, it would be easy to instantly generate a crystallized one page
report that focuses on highlighting the most significant issues related to each
conversation. In fact, without having to spend so much time dealing with
sorting and preparation, you could create as many reports as you like without
taxing yourself. More importantly, communication with both your internal and
external customer structure becomes far more meaningful with clearly organized
supporting data at your disposal.
Remember
that there are several key areas that your organization needs to constantly
address including putting out internal fires, refining the current customer/employee
engagement process, increasing new customer acquisitions, and financials.
Utilizing a multilevel dashboard system will allow you to identify all of the
factors most relevant to each of these matters. Once you can easily recognize
each opportunity, you will already be halfway toward developing a customized
solution.
