Pre-configured reports- Do they work?
There are vendors who claim that they have the pre-build reports/views/metrics, which can meet good proportion of our need and can provide a quick implementation. Is it a valid claim?

As per the experience base within ExecutionMiH.com, that it does say 70-80% for the dashboards and 30 to 40% of the scorecards. Most of the scorecards & dashboards need to be highly customized not only because the information needs are different. This is also because every company faces different issues and has different SWOT. This leads to different set of items, which have to be focused upon, which ultimately lead to varying set of metrics and reports. Refer Designing Scorecards and Designing Dashboards.

Within Dashboards and Scorecards, dashboards mostly carry the mathematical information. Therefore, it is easier to automate the dashboards. Scorecards are more varied and have lot of qualitative information. This constraints the level of automation. These are the specific barriers to automation of scorecards:

  • The external or manual data: Standards and goals, low volume figures, some data lying in excel sheets etc.. are examples of the data which is not coming through the standards route of OLAP and Performance Reporting system.
  • Commentary: There is lot of qualitative information, which needs to be put over and above your quantitative information generated by your scorecard generating tool. refer field tip Commentary is Must
  • Projections for Future- These are manually calculated manually or through bushiness models, and are not part of 'actual's' or standards.
  • Sheer customized format requirements: The performance reporting systems, with dashboard and scorecard building capabilities are not flexible enough to meet the exact needs of a senior manager.
