Step 9: At a glance -- visualize your overall score

You've heard about how the Financial Scoreboard can give you quick and concise answers to the critical questions. Now you can bring those answers to life with the Financial Dashboard, an at-a-glance snapshot of the economic reality of the numbers inside your company. The Financial Dashboard is a powerful tool with a simple, easy-to-understand interface that allows you to see the relationships between financial statement results. This allows you to easily take command of your business' finance and cashflow by seeing the past and future quickly and clearly as measured by the three bottom lines — operating cash flow, net profit and return on assets.

Each of the three bottom lines is influenced in the right direction by the increase of sales or the decrease of assets and expenses. Chuck Kremer, who created three-bottom-line performance through Managing by the Numbers and the Financial Scoreboard, noticed that many people are unclear that all business results need be tuned to the challenge of raising sales while lowering expenses and assets relative to that sales growth. The challenge of growing a business — continuously improving by doing more work with less relative effort and fewer resources — is a focus that many people in business can respond to once they see it and how it relates to them.
