Data & Communication
We are seeing more companies communicating data in their everyday Workplace Communication.

(Bain & Company research 2013)

When different teams (i.e sales, marketing, production unit) operate, they are most interested to know how are they doing in terms of targets.
To gain visibility and attention communication teams blend corporate communication among team specific information.
Team specific information is typically a team dashboard including some of the following information:
Effective data that is commonly used in communication
Sales KPIs
Sales pipeline & closed leads
Health & Safety records
Accident free dates & near miss metrics
Production Data
Order data, production quantities
Quality Data
Availability, consistency, timeliness
Financial KPIs
Revenue, Gross Profit, Expenses
