A corporate performance executive dashboard

One of the strongest constituents of an executive dashboard initiative is often the Chief Financial Officer. These financial wizards have dashboards in their heads that constantly monitor the state of their key performance indicators. When they have the opportunity to have a software application do it for them, they jump at the chance. In fact, they will tell you that they’ve tried doing enterprise dashboards on their own using microsoft excel.

Today, let’s take a look at a powerful executive dashboard suited to the needs of the CFO. It has plenty of metrics and KPI information.
