- Map KPIs to specific data requirements. Determine if the data exists in systems or needs to be collected.
- If data-collection gaps exist, explore improvements to fill holes. Develop a plan and timeline to implement those systems.
- Investigate business service management, project and portfolio management, and BI tools based on your KPI requirements. Pay attention to how tools integrate with your existing infrastructure.
- Budget for the initial cost of the CIO dashboard, annual maintenance, and fees to implement the system. Take into account the complexity and cost of changes and updates.
- Develop an implementation plan that provides dashboard visibility into key systems one at a time.
- After systems are integrated, focus on correlating data across those systems to provide meaningful visual information and alerting capabilities should a metric violate a threshold.
- When new components are considered, evaluate how they’ll be integrated into the dashboard.
