Business Intelligence and Forecasting Dashboard
A decision dashboard that combines trusted operational sources, calculates agreed business measures and presents trends and forecasts with clear provenance.
The challenge
Leaders cannot make timely decisions when important measures are defined differently across reports or assembled from stale exports.
Previous manual process
Analysts downloaded files, repaired inconsistent fields and rebuilt recurring reports manually.
The approach
Agree metric definitions and source ownership before building a monitored data pipeline and decision-focused visual layer.
The solution
A focused delivery could include:
- Source and metric catalogue
- Validated data pipeline
- Executive and operational views
- Forecast scenarios
- Freshness and quality monitoring
Human approval points
- Data owners approve definitions
- Analysts review anomalies
- Leaders approve forecast assumptions
Implementation process
Result
Intended outcome: give teams a more consistent and timely view of performance without hiding uncertainty.
Next stage: Reconcile dashboard measures against existing reports and introduce forecasts only after baseline quality is accepted.
