8 KPIs the CEO Sees in One Dashboard

The CEO and business owner should not collect data from the CFO, commercial director, and PMO before every meeting. The Executive Dashboard brings all strategic KPIs together in one place — and updates automatically.

01

Revenue: Actual, Plan, Trend

Real-time actual revenue compared to plan and the same period last year. 12-month trend. Drill-down by business lines, product lines, and regions with one click.

02

Margins and EBITDA

Gross margin, EBITDA, and net profit with dynamics. You see whether revenue growth is accompanied by profitability growth — or whether margins are being eroded by costs. Comparison with targets and prior year.

03

Top Clients and Concentration

Who are your top 10 clients and what share of revenue do they generate? Is there a risk of excessive concentration? This metric helps assess business resilience and the need for client base diversification.

04

Revenue by Region

Geographic distribution of the business: where we're growing, where there's stagnation. Map and regional ranking with dynamics. The strategic question — invest in new regions or strengthen positions in current ones.

05

Budget Execution

Actual budget execution for revenue and expenses at the current moment. Year-end forecast based on current pace. Variances by line item — without waiting for a quarterly report from the CFO.

06

Strategic Trends

Long-term view: key KPI dynamics over 2–3 years, seasonality, correlations between metrics. Lets you see the overall business trajectory — not just the current quarter.

07

Plan vs. Actual Variance

Which departments are on plan and which are falling behind? The dashboard shows variances in absolute and relative values for each business line — so the CEO knows where management intervention is needed before the next meeting.

08

⚠ ROI of Strategic Projects

Return on investment in key projects: new products, market entries, M&A, automation. You see which bets paid off and which need reconsideration — and make decisions based on numbers, not presentations.

Who Gets the Most Value

The Executive Dashboard is designed for leaders who need a "single version of the truth" without delays and manual consolidations.

🏢

CEO / Business Owner

You start the day by opening one dashboard — and in 5 minutes you know the state of the entire business. No more morning messages to directors asking "how are things?" and no more arguments about numbers in meetings. One version of the truth for everyone.

📋

Board of Directors / Partners

Quarterly reports for the board or investors are prepared automatically — or reduced to "open the dashboard." A standardized set of KPIs allows comparing results and tracking strategy execution without separate presentations.

💼

Senior Management

Each director gets their own slice of the shared dashboard: the CFO — the finance block, the commercial director — sales, HR — people metrics. A common language and shared data model eliminate conflicts about whose numbers are correct.

What Connects to Executive Dashboard

The dashboard aggregates data from all the company's operational systems into a single strategic picture.

💰

ERP and Financial Systems

Revenue, margins, P&L, Cash Flow, and budget from ERP or accounting systems. The primary source for the Executive Dashboard financial block — actual, plan, and variance.

🏢

CRM (Dynamics 365 Sales)

Revenue data by client, pipeline, and sales plan execution. Enables the commercial block — forecast, top clients, and regional distribution.

📋

PM Systems and Operational Data

Project RAG status, ROI, resources, and timelines from MS Project, Planner, or ERP. The operational block of Executive Dashboard — status of the company's key initiatives.

📊

Excel and SharePoint

Budgets, planned KPIs, and strategic initiatives in Excel or SharePoint Lists. Connected via Power Query with automated plan vs. actual comparison — no manual consolidation.

🔒

Role-based access: the CEO sees everything, directors — only their functional block. Data stays within your Microsoft infrastructure.

Implementation Four Steps to Executive Dashboard — in 3–4 Weeks The longer timeline is due to the need to consolidate data from multiple systems and agree on a unified KPI model with senior management.

1

Week 1 Audit & KPI Session We run a KPI session with the CEO and key directors: define 8–12 strategic metrics for the dashboard. Data source audit — where everything lives and in what condition.

2

Weeks 2–3 Data Model We connect all sources, build a unified analytical model, and configure KPI calculations. We agree on the first dashboard prototype with the CEO — refining details and priorities.

3

Days of Weeks 3–4 Launch in Power BI Service We deploy the final dashboard to the cloud, configure role-based access, automatic refresh, and daily/weekly email digests for the CEO.

4

Week 4 Training & Handover We run a 90-minute workshop for the CEO and senior management. We explain KPI logic, navigation, and filters. 30 days of support and fine-tuning — included.

Answers to Common Questions

How many KPIs should an Executive Dashboard have?
Optimally 8–12 strategic metrics on the main screen. More than that, and the dashboard turns into a "data dump" that nobody reads. We help define priority KPIs aligned to your strategy and business structure.
What if different systems show different numbers?
This is the most common question when implementing an Executive Dashboard. We build a single "golden version" of each metric: fixing the source, methodology, and calculation rules. This eliminates meeting disputes once and for all.
Can a daily digest be sent to the CEO's email every morning?
Yes. We configure automatic delivery via Power BI Subscriptions or Power Automate: a PDF snapshot of key metrics every morning or weekly — in a convenient format, without needing to open the dashboard manually.
How to restrict access: CEO sees everything, a director — only their block?
We configure Row-Level Security (RLS) in Power BI: each user automatically sees only the data they have access to based on their role. Technically transparent, administratively managed through Azure AD with no additional effort.
What Power BI license does senior management need?
Power BI Pro (~$10/user/month) is sufficient for most companies. If Microsoft 365 E3/E5 is already in place — the license may be included. We'll review the option at the first consultation.
