Well, I've presented my first Dashboard report (covering 45 sites, five regions and a summary) to the GM, who has in turn presented it to the Board. Your course was absolutely spot on and covered exactly what I needed to know. So, thanks a bunch! The GM was so impressed that I took the opportunity and asked him to reimburse me for the cost of the course and he agreed.
I am so excited to use your advice & tools to build the dashboard for my project which is due in the next 2 weeks.
My dashboard will be un-beatable if I compare it with the old style dashboards that my co-workers built for my workplace.They are not interactive at all, only a button to filter the selections.
