Business Analytics, Scorecards, Dashboards, and KPIs Presented by: Lisa Lawlor, Keystone Fire Protection You collect more information in your business today than at any other time: accounting systems, ERPs, CRMs. But what are you doing with this information? Is it sitting in the database on your computer, idle? We will show you how to harness the power of that data to make better, more-informed business decisions. This workshop will identify key performance indicators (KPIs) that you can immediately begin using to run your business more effectively. From the simplest of scorecards to the most sophisticated analytics, it all starts with identifying key metrics that will drive your business for profitability and growth. B.
