“After my initial demonstration of ExecDashTM, I decided to test the power of the ExecDashTM dashboard solution with my executive team. I hand drew an example of an ExecDashTM Dashboard on the whiteboard that represented the current state of the hospital. When I uncovered the example dashboard, I asked my Executive Team to take a look at the dashboard for 5 minutes and give me an assessment of our current situation. Within 3 minutes, everybody in the room had assessed our situation correctly and identified the areas that needed improvement. My team was able to identify areas of improvement that they had not been able to distinguish from our current reporting systems. That to me proved the value of the ExecDashTM performance dashboard.”
