Executive Dashboard KPI Template

Design dashboards that leadership teams will actually use.

• Decision question: what action should this metric inform?
• Owner: who is accountable for the definition and intervention?
• Cadence: daily, weekly, monthly, or event-driven?
• Leading indicator: what tells us the issue is forming?
• Lagging indicator: what confirms the business outcome?
• Thresholds: when should teams intervene?
• Drilldown path: how does leadership move from signal to root cause?

The template is designed to prevent overloaded dashboards with no clear purpose.
