KPI Dashboards in Derby
Dashboards showing Derby businesses the handful of numbers that actually govern performance. The discipline in this work is subtraction rather than addition. A dashboard carrying forty metrics communicates nothing at all, because a reader given no hierarchy of importance ends up treating every figure on the screen as equally unimportant, and stops opening it.
Why this comes up
The problem
There is a dashboard and nobody looks at it. It shows everything that could be measured, in no order of importance, and no one can say what it means to act on.
What you get
What we deliver
- Metrics cut to the few that genuinely drive the outcome
- Each one defined in writing, including how edge cases are counted
- Targets or comparisons, since a number without context cannot be judged
- Layout with a hierarchy — the headline reads in seconds, detail sits below
- Automatic refresh, so nobody maintains it by hand
- A review cycle, because the right metrics change as the business does

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

KPI Dashboards in Derby — common questions
- How many metrics should a dashboard show?
- Few enough that a reader knows immediately which one matters most — often five to eight for an operational view. Beyond that, everything reads as equally important, which is the same as nothing being important.
- Why does nobody use ours?
- Usually because it does not answer a question anyone has, or because the numbers were once wrong and trust never recovered. Both are fixable, but the second takes longer — accuracy has to be visibly restored before usage returns.
- Should every team see the same dashboard?
- No. A board needs trend and exception; an operations manager needs today's detail. The underlying definitions should be shared so the numbers reconcile, but the presentation should differ by audience.
- How often should metrics change?
- Review them at least annually and whenever strategy shifts. Dashboards accumulate metrics that mattered two years ago, and nobody ever removes them, so deliberate subtraction has to be a scheduled task rather than something left to good intentions. The test for keeping a metric is whether anyone has changed a decision because of it in the last year.

- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
