Data tells a great story when done correctly. It also takes intentional effort. When people think about data, they often visualize an endless spreadsheet of arbitrarily listed, binary numbers. But this doesn’t have to be the case. When executed appropriately, data can form an impactful narrative that tells us everything we need to know. The trick is simple. Keep it concise, focus on the status to the target and solely consider the metrics attributing to the KPIs and defined business goals. Effective reporting is critical because it becomes the framework for how to continue to optimize performance and generate growth.
