Management Information Creep

Product Description

• Does your internal management reporting pack grow every year?
• Have you ever thought who looks at all the data?
• Have you ever thought if the information supports effective decision-making?

Most management reporting packs are prepared in exactly the same format as last month & last year. They grow year on year as incremental pieces of information are requested & added.

It is time to stop & challenge the reporting pack; consider who is the information for, what decisions will be made based on the information, is there a business case for providing the information & what is the best way to display it.

This course looks at how to create relevant, effective management information. Initially the programme looks at the purpose of management information & then suggests an approach to ensure your management pack is relevant to decision making. It then considers the practical problems of changing the management reporting pack within the organisation & how to overcome them. Time is taken to practice effective written commentary, whilst the final session reviews the display of graphical & financial data & shows how financial data can have meaning even to those with a fear of numbers.
