Clearly See Your Growth Path

One study analyzed data from 1,500 ecommerce retailers and found that using a descriptive dashboard raised weekly revenues by 4% to 10%. The results reflect the impact of traditional dashboards. Despite their namesake, traditional dashboards are more analogous to rearview mirrors, as they simply show what recently happened. Kiboko distills information into actual insight, arranges it hierarchically to naturally draw attention down the right path to the biggest risks and opportunities, suggests how to handle them, and then shows how your current actions will affect the future.

Instead of a rearview mirror, Kiboko’s dashboards serve as a Heads-Up Display with object detection and navigation. As such, organizations can execute their plans confidently without second-guessing their efforts.

With work properly prioritized and clearly laid out for all to see, leadership attention is free to focus on higher-level strategic priorities, where it’s most valuable. Kiboko further facilitates this on the home screen, where we show actual performance, trajectory, and the time-adjusted impact of all projects being worked on:

Kiboko shows the comparison of actual performance, run rate if current trends continue, monthly budget or goal, and impact of all projects in progress and on deck to show whether the company is on track to meet their goal and what impact projects will have.

    • Enjoy a meritocracy of ideas where all voices are heard, and good ideas aren’t trapped.
      • “An idea meritocracy—a system that brings together smart, independent thinkers and has them productively disagree to come up with the best possible collective thinking & resolve their disagreements in a believability-weighted way—will outperform any other decision-making system.” -Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates.
