Course Description

You can’t drive a car looking in the rear view mirror.  Traditional metrics are backward looking.  They keep score. What did you do last month, last quarter and last year?  Companies need to keep score to assess performance: growth, margin, return on equity, and total shareholder return are common metrics.  They do not tell you how the company will do in the future. Value is about the future.  In the age of agile, companies need to increasingly start putting forward looking and predictive metrics on their dashboards.  The Agile Dashboard was researched and developed to help organizations address this gap. The Agile Dashboard looks at three categories of metrics: Speed, Interaction Time and Pivot. These are critical elements for leaders to monitor whether their organizations are prepared to operate successfully in an uncertain future.  This session will explain each of the three sections of the Agile Dashboard, provide metrics for each and share examples of their applicability to financial organizations.
