Quick answer

A commercial dashboard is a single view of the key pricing, cashflow, margin, and performance indicators in a business.

How it works

  1. Define the business question clearly.
  2. Use a simple framework to calculate or compare the number.
  3. Check the result against margin, timing, costs, or market position.
  4. Use a practical tool to test decisions before acting.
