What You Will Walk Away With

A CLEAR PLAN FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE

You'll begin building a data blueprint... That will identify the priorities for success

With Our Process, You Understand and Leave With:

• Identified measures the top priorities

• Defined expectations for successful performance

• Clear direction on where to focus improvement

• An understanding of the data behind

• Practical insight into Microsoft tools

• How those tools can help access and use that data

Start with one meaningful area of your work and leave with a structure you can continue building from.

Bring a Real Challenge. Start Working on It.

This is a hands-on Working Session built around your work.

Define What Matters

Clarify what successful performance looks like and identify the measures that help you understand it.

Understand Performance

Use those measures to see where performance stands, identify meaningful gaps, and determine where attention is needed.

Learn How the Data Is Built

Identify where the supporting data comes from and understand the principles that make it accurate, useful, and accessible.

Connect the Data & Tools

Explore how Microsoft tools can help you access, structure, and use your data to support meaningful performance measurement.

You Have the Data. But Is It Telling You What Matters?

Reports are being created. Dashboards are being reviewed. Measures are being tracked.

Yet you still struggle to answer:

• Are we measuring what actually matters?

• What are our measures telling us about performance?

• Do we have the right data to support those measures?

• Can we access and use that data we need?

• Where are the meaningful gaps, and what deserves our attention?

You need a structured way to determine what matters most to measure, understand what performance is telling you, and access the data that supports it—so you can identify where to focus improvement.

Built For Leaders Who...

1

Have the Data, But Lack Clarity

You have reports, dashboards, and measures, but it’s not always clear what performance is telling you or what deserves attention.

2

Aren’t Sure What Matters Most

Too many measures—or measures without clear targets and context—make it difficult to focus on the critical few that reveal the health of the work.

3

Can’t Get Information in Time

Critical information isn’t always available when decisions need to be made, slowing response and making it harder to act with confidence.

One Session. Two Connected Perspectives.
