Run Smarter, More Efficient Reviews with WorkBoard Scorecards

Gabby DiGiovanni  ::  Strategy & Execution

Enterprise teams report they spend up to 30 hours of preparation time to coordinate, assemble, and format presentation decks for each operational review, such as Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs) or Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). The majority of this preparation goes into creating a scorecard – the “metrics-on-a-page” slide that contains a table of the most pertinent operational metrics, with commentary on the go-forward plan.

Reviews are then often spent debating the integrity of the manually compiled data, rather than making progress on the organization’s strategy and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).

“This is incredible. I have a monthly report in Excel that I use to show my leader progress. This will be able to replace that completely and save me loads of time for checking on status, updates, etc.”
— Neil Sanderson, VP, Strategy & Business Operations, Data & Analytics at Thomson Reuters

With WorkBoard Scorecards, you can display your team’s OKR progress on a single page, drive focused discussion on progress to plan & path forward, and shift focus to where it’s needed most.

Scorecards help you drastically reduce the time and costs spent in preparation, and ensure data integrity by connecting directly to the source: your OKRs right in WorkBoard.
