Enable Strategy Lab
KPI Dashboard
Every number you've already worked out, in one place - revenue, margin, labour cost, and more.
You've already put real numbers into TGM Calculator, Labour Cost Calculator, Margin Pace Tracker, Unit Price Engine, 80/20 Client Profitability, and Cost Cutting Finder. This dashboard pulls the headline figure from each one you've used into a single view, so you can see the state of the business at a glance instead of hunting back through six different tools. Nothing to fill in here - just run the Labs you haven't got to yet, and their numbers show up automatically.
Included in All Access, or unlock it on its own.

Reading Your KPI Dashboard
Checking a full set of financials once a year means you find out about a problem long after it started - and long after it was cheap to fix. A handful of the right numbers, checked regularly, tell you far more about the actual health of the business in real time. Wait for the annual review instead and you're always managing last year's problem, not this month's.
- 1.Lagging vs Leading IndicatorsThe difference between a number that tells you what already happened and one that tells you what's about to.
- 2.Fewer Numbers, Watched More OftenThe most common KPI mistake isn't picking the wrong numbers - it's picking too many of them.
- 3.Trend Over SnapshotOne reading of a number is a fact. Three readings in a row is a story - and the story is usually what matters.
- 4.Pick Your GapsName which of the six feeder Labs you haven't run yet - that's the fastest way to fill out your dashboard.
- 5.Quick CheckA few questions to lock in what you just covered.
- 6.Check Your DashboardSee every number you've already worked out, pulled into one view - and know what to run next to fill the gaps.
