Driving Business Success with a Financial Dashboard

Tuesday, May 14, 7:30-9 a.m., Stranahan Hall-North, room 2160
UT’s Main Campus

Just like the one inside your car, a financial dashboard puts you in the driver's seat of your business. It's a simple, easy-to-understand interface that gives anyone the capacity to “see” the economic reality of the numbers inside your company. If you currently use a dashboard or want to learn how, then come to this mini-forum where Wes Beham and Michael Brough with Gilmore, Jasion and Mahler, will explain:

• What a dashboard is and how are they are used
• The benefits to your company of using this interface
• How to design a dashboard
• What to include and why

No matter what your industry or position is, the dashboard and key performance indicators are useful tools toward business success.
