😡 „Who dropped the ball?“ – That’s never a good first reaction to a 🔴red KPI on a dashboard.
✅ Purely green dashboards aren’t ideal either. 🍭 Sugar-coating doesn’t drive an organization towards meaningful improvement. 😕
Dashboards are designed with 🚦multiple colours for a reason:
1️⃣ 🔍 to help us identify areas for improvement,
2️⃣ 💡 to gain new insights and learnings, and
3️⃣ 🖼️ to enhance our organizational framework.
In complex business environments, red 🔴 doesn’t appear simply because someone „dropped the ball.“ More often, it’s the result of multidimensional connections 🔗 between internal and external forces driving the outcome.
Improving from here isn’t about assigning blame 👉 😞 — it’s about …
1️⃣ 👀 observations from multiple perspectives,
2️⃣ 🔍assessing the impact of the deviation on…
➡ 🧑🤝🧑 customers,
➡💰 financial health of the organisation,
➡🤝 stakeholders, and
➡👥 employees,
3️⃣ identifying
🗝️ decision-makers,
4️⃣ and involving
🛠️ contributors to the solution.
From there, we can co-create strategies that address real needs and drive forward momentum with meaningful actions.
