ABSTRACT:
An executive dashboard (referred to as dashboard's for the rest of this article) is an intranet for a select group of users. These users tend to be executives–VPs and above, the people who are the main decision-makers in the company.
However, not all new dashboards are for executives and their ilk. As organizations push to become more nimble (and hence more competitive), dashboards are now being developed for managers of all stripes. When developing a dashboard, don't be surprised if you hear phrases such as: "Every employee is a CFO." These reflect a realization by companies that faster decision making helps them succeed. This means giving managers the ability to make decisions on their own.
Companies are finding it's much better to allow a manager to make an immediate decision in response to a market opportunity than to force him to wait for the CFO, or some other executive, to be alerted to the opportunity and then make a decision.
