KPIs and dashboards that drive change

Forty indicators on a dashboard are not control, that's wallpaper. One day, and you turn it into a control instrument.

KPIs and dashboards that drive change are the one-day training of the Supply Value Academy on designing a limited set of meaningful performance indicators, and a dashboard on which teams actually drive change. The training is a logical continuation of the Datagedreven verbeteren training.

Why this training

Most dashboards have arisen from “can you also add this here?”, and as a result they measure everything but what matters. The result is what you know: too much looking, too little doing.

On this day, you turn it around. You start with the decisions that your team needs to make, choose the indicators there, and design a dashboard that steers the conversation instead of replacing it.

You can do this afterwards

  • You base KPIs on goals and decisions rather than on available data.
  • You define indicators clearly: formula, source, frequency, standard and owner.
  • You design a dashboard that tells you at a glance where action is needed.
  • You set the operating rhythm: who watches when, and what happens if there is a deviation.

Target group

Team leaders, (purchasing and supply chain) managers, controllers and analysts who want to manage their team or department with a handful of good indicators, instead of with a mountain of reports.

Prerequisites: None; the Datagedreven verbeteren training is a good but not mandatory precursor.

Program

  • From goal to KPI: the translation that is usually overlooked
  • Characteristics of a good indicator (and the perverse incentives of a bad one)
  • Work session: the KPI set for your team, reduced to the essentials
  • Dashboard design: signal above decoration
  • Standards, bandwidths and trends: when is deviation very serious
  • The control rhythm: from the dashboard to the decision
  • Your dashboard on paper, ready to (let’s) build

Trainer

Your trainers design performance management and dashboards for clients in purchasing, supply chain and operations. They have seen enough dashboards to know which ones are used, and which ones are only opened for auditing.

Frequently asked questions

No, intentionally. The design is tool-independent: you build a well-thought-out dashboard in any environment afterwards. We do provide practical guidelines for the most commonly used tools, though.

Less than you think. Rule of thumb: a team effectively tracks five to eight indicators. The training helps you choose, and above all: eliminate gaps without causing gaps.
