No Surprises
As an executive on the management team, you are responsible for accurate reporting of key results, exceptions and risks on programmes of projects to your senior management and sometimes, board of directors. The one thing you don’t want in the boardroom is a surprise – whether it be a budget blow-out, or an ‘off the rails’ project where you are the last to know.
Visibility and transparency are critical to enforcing a ‘no surprises’ policy. You need to know what is going on at all times, and because you are time-poor, you only want to see the information that is relevant.
ITools Control’s executive dashboard gives projects visibility at a high level.
