Dashboards 101 -- Introduction to Using Dashboards to Scale and Improve Any Business
This segment discusses what a dashboard is not suppose to do that will destroy its effectiveness. You may be surprised to find a dashboard should never contain any graphs, because software companies are often selling fancy colors and formats which get in the way of a dashboard doing its primary jobs. 
This course will support any CEO, manager, C-Level executive or entrepreneur in their work to grow a company. This course (Segments A-F) is the basic level course for everyone involved. We have two additional courses that are intermediate and advanced, for senior managers, to really optimize the use of Dashboards and Metrics (KPIs) which must evolve with your company. These are available for a small fee. AirTight Management designs and implements dashboards and five other Management Systems to help companies grow using proven management best practices to create high-performance cultures. 

We also train and certify Management Consultants and Business Coaches in Dashboard design, implementation and usage so they can train company managers. Only a professional is likely to design an appropriate dashboard because the company managers and employees are too close and can never think out-of-the-box of how they have been doing things. This is an art, not an easily learned skill. Get a professional to do the design.
