A good place to begin is with the end in mind. This approach will result in a much more effective marketing dashboard, one that will help you improve AND prove the value of your marketing.
Before you begin your dashboard, start by answering these 3 questions:
1. What outcomes does your business need to achieve in order to meet your goals?
2. What does senior management expect Marketing to contribute towards these outcomes?
3. How will senior management know that Marketing has made a positive contribution?

Editor's Notes
Welcome to our video primer on marketing dashboards.
In business we seem to always be attracted to the “shiny object” which can often distract us from the real issues. Marketing dashboards are a good example of this. Everyone seems to want a dashboard but this distracts us from thinking about why we want a dashboard and what we want on the dashboard.
Marketing dashboards are only as good as the work you put into defining how you should measure your marketing. Tying your performance to real business results is a challenge and it takes discipline and thought to build a dashboard and process that drives meaningful marketing performance. We work in complementary arenas and will share our expertise and experience in this conversation about creating a marketing dashboard.
Jeff: Mastering Marketing Performance Takes a Good Dashboard. We have some thoughts about the important of a marketing dashboard….Why do you think Marketers need one?
Laura: Imagine driving your car without one or worse yet getting on a plane and pilot not having a dashboard. Dashboards help you mitigate risk, facilitate decisions, adjust your course of action.
Here’s a few things we know after 15 years of benchmarking Marketing Performance across all industries, in all geographies, in all size companies. Nearly every Marketing organization has a dashboard, but the dashboards of BIC Marketers are very different. These dashboards plat in role in how well Marketing is perceived to be contributing to the business.
Their dashboards do a better job of connecting the work of Marketing to Business Results.
These Marketers Earn Better Marks from the C-Suite
The proof is in their Marketing Plan –as a result they can select the right metrics from outcomes to activities.
They select the right Metrics and they’re skilled at setting Performance Targets- a critical ingredient for their dashboards
The proof is in their Marketing Plan –as a result they can select the right metrics from outcomes to activities.
Jeff: In our last webinar conversation we talked about data, measures, and metrics. There’s so many things you can put on a dashboard. You live with this question…how do you determine what to monitor?
Laura: Back to the metaphor for a moment…Need your Metrics Chains. Your metrics chains are derived from your marketing plan. The metrics chains become the wireframe for your dashboard. Jeff, when you work with customers, what steps do you tell them they will need to create one?
[Need to define metrics chains first]
[Would like to sub in a dashboard from Origami if possible]
Jeff: When we work with customers to help them build a dashboard we work through these steps.
Define metrics, dimensions (e.g. by product line, region or campaign)
Who will need access to what
Data sources and history required
However, you work with customers before they know what they want to build…where do you start?
Jeff: A lot of marketers depend on the reports coming out of their Marketing Automation or CRM System. Those don’t really get it done though.
Laura: These reports are great at visualizing data. But only for the data that’s in their system. Your dashboard has to help you know what is and isn’t working. It should help you determine whether what you’re doing is moving the needle, and if so, how far and how fast.
Your dashboard should help you ascertain whether you are within proper operating and performance target parameters. If your marketing dashboard doesn’t guide your strategic and investment decisions, then it’s time to return to the drawing board.
Laura: A good place to begin is with the end in mind. This approach will result in a much more effective marketing dashboard, one that will help you improve AND prove the value of your marketing. Before you begin your dashboard, start by answering these 3 questions:
What outcomes does your business need to achieve in order to meet your goals?
What does senior management expect Marketing to contribute towards these outcomes?
How will senior management know that Marketing has made a positive contribution?
Jeff: That’s great advice. I’ve been around enough to know that could be an all-day meeting to get those answers!
Laura: It takes skills, systems, processes, and tools to make sense of marketing data, perform the analytics, build the models, create the dashboards.
