Why is business reporting critical for your business success?

Let’s take a look at two different perspectives and try to be honest with yourself:

(1) The reality we ignore and don’t want to admit…

If you are like more than 90% of business managers your data as well as important actionable information you need to make good business decisions is everywhere – on your computer, in the cloud, on your company server, on your home computer… you might also have some backup somewhere in case you need something in the future.

Now, in addition think about how many presentations you have prepared in the last 12 months. How many different excel files have you created in the last year, budget documents, official and unofficial business plans, project documents, analysis of everyday business activities, emails you received with important attachments…

The crucial question is how much time do you need right now to get any of this information from 2 or 3 different sources or files. Why is this important? Because even if you are not aware that is what you are doing on a daily basis. You have an idea, new requirement or you need to perform some specific analysis or prepare a document and you need different info. So you will look for one file and look through some presentations and try to find the spreadsheet with the model you created.. Now you need to put the different pieces together so you can analyze your situation. Business information (especially critical and actionable info) is crucial for making smart decisions and make those decisions at the time we need to make them not later. So the biggest issue is the time we waste on creating new valuable information we need on a daily basis by cross referencing different data from different sources.

Here is the funniest story: The data backup and sharing technology today and numerous online applications (free or paid services) give you the freedom to share and store your data, information and files. So we have various accounts, both personal and business, with all these fancy features and great convenience (again: great convenience) where we can store and share documents, files and reports. However in most cases all this convenience creates even more complexity because you cant use some accounts for business, some are not approved by your organization, some platforms are not really secure, you cant access certain information from home… this is even more complexity in terms of wasting time when you need to cross reference data and compile info for business decisions, presentations and reports.

(2) The perfect case scenario (we all need to get there…)

What would be perfect in terms of saving time and improving our business reporting? The answer is the highest quality of actionable information we need at anytime available to us whenever we need it.

What do we need to get there?

A. First of all, you need to admit that improving your current situation and developing effective and efficient reporting system is critical for your business success. Why? Because of the following top 3 benefits: you’ll save time on a daily basis, you’ll improve the quality of your work and you’ll help your business. There are more benefits and value but let’s focus on these three major motivators for now.

B. Second, start with the planning. Don’t start with technology. Many people make a mistake when trying to improve their business analysis and reporting by jumping into what applications and platforms are out there… There is nothing wrong with evaluating different alternatives however without proper planning and strategy chances are you’ll end up with something that is not the perfect fit for your situation and needs. You might overpay for features you don’t really need and have to adjust your work based on how the technology works instead of adjusting the solution to your business case.

So, start your plan. The single most important question you need to ask yourself is what are the most important metrics for your business. Depending on your organization you might have specific term you use internally for metrics like KPIs (key performance indicators), profit drivers, performance metrics, critical business information… Basically they are all metrics we need to track and access at anytime on a daily basis so we can be able to evaluate and analyze our progress towards achieving our organizational goals and objectives. Look at your business plan and strategy and your goals and start from there. Make a list of the top 3 to 5 metrics which describe your business progress at anytime. These are the metrics you need to have access to at anytime so they will be first in your reporting system. Depending on your business you might track dozens or even hundreds of local metrics and drivers but they’ll all drive, support and explain the success or failure of your top 3-5 metrics. Your top business metrics will have a target (the amount you are supposed to achieve in a given time period). Mr Dashboard has a good resource for defining global vs local metrics and KPIs - you can take a look here.

Now, take each of your top metrics one by one and start developing a short list of variables that are critical to perform in order to understand why your top metric is successful or not – is it improving or not, are you going to hit your target or not and more important your local variables will explain why and why not!

C. Finally, after you finalize your top and local metrics, next you need to decide what technology, application, tool or platform you’ll use. The question now is what tool will allow me to track and report the progress of my KPIs in the most efficient and effective way. Next there are additional questions you need to ask yourself such as how easy to use the tool is, how much time will I need to maintain it, what is the initial cost and ongoing maintenance cost, is there a learning curve, how many users…

As you go through these steps try not to get distracted and don’t forget the main point: to have a simple and powerful business analysis and reporting system that will help you save time and access your business information at anytime.
