Management Reports Business Visibility

The common problem is that the indicators vary in calibre, update time and cannot be traced. Management needs to develop a common view of income, profits, cash, clients, delivery and risk. BI construction should first address indicators and master data, and then design the board.

DIRECT ANSWER

Let's see what we can do.

The common problem is that the indicators vary in calibre, update time and cannot be traced. Management needs to develop a common view of income, profits, cash, clients, delivery and risk. BI construction should first address indicators and master data, and then design the board.

VIDEO NOTES

The video content of this issue is read

The following are structured textual interpretations of the video for the current period, which allow for quick reading, internal discussion and search; it is not verbatim subtitled. Around “The report is too large, why the boss is still not clear about business”, it is suggested that a distinction be made between appearances, business causes and system improvements before deciding whether process adjustments, data governance, system integration, automation or customization development are required.

1. Which indicators need to be standardized

The most common problem is that the indicators vary in calibre, time for updating and cannot be traced. Management needs to develop a common view of income, profits, cash, clients, delivery and risk. BI construction should go ahead with governance indicators and master data and design panels. For this point of judgement, the actual tasks, documents, communication records or system logs should be drawn, and the frequency, waiting times, back-to-work costs, responsibility and exceptions should be checked.

2. Reasons why the statements cannot be explained

The most common problem is that the indicators vary in calibre, time for updating and cannot be traced. Management needs to develop a common view of income, profits, cash, clients, delivery and risk. BI construction should go ahead with governance indicators and master data and design panels. For this point of judgement, the actual tasks, documents, communication records or system logs should be drawn, and the frequency, waiting times, back-to-work costs, responsibility and exceptions should be checked.

3. How to manage the board to support operations

The most common problem is that the indicators vary in calibre, time for updating and cannot be traced. Management needs to develop a common view of income, profits, cash, clients, delivery and risk. BI construction should go ahead with governance indicators and master data and design panels. For this point of judgement, the actual tasks, documents, communication records or system logs should be drawn, and the frequency, waiting times, back-to-work costs, responsibility and exceptions should be checked.

WORKFLOW DESIGN

What should we do with this scene?

The cash flow, quotations, receivables, fees, monthly balances, statements and budgets show why business data are not valid or delayed. Around “the number of statements, why the boss still does not see business performance”, real input, expected output, tool privileges, manual approval, unusual processing and operational acceptance indicators should be defined before deciding whether to use rules, scripts, API, Codex or other AIAgents.

01Which indicators need to be standardized

The verification of conditions, liability, data sources and exceptions is done using real samples, and the presentation is not used as a substitute for production evidence.

02Why can't the report explain why?

The verification of conditions, liability, data sources and exceptions is done using real samples, and the presentation is not used as a substitute for production evidence.

03How do you manage the panels to support the operation?

The verification of conditions, liability, data sources and exceptions is done using real samples, and the presentation is not used as a substitute for production evidence.

IMPLEMENTATION PATH

Suggested paths for improvement

  1. 1
    Harmonization of master data, subject and business calibre

    Selecting recent and representative tasks and anomalies, identifying participants, input outputs, time and current costs.

  2. 2
    Connect orders, deliveries, invoices, payments received and charges

    Distinction between actions that are self-executing, that require manual confirmation and that prohibit automatic processing.

  3. 3
    Create budget, actual and projected rolling comparisons

    Start with the draft, a copy or a limited scene, and keep the abnormal transferer and retreat.

  4. 4
    Use an abnormal list to facilitate timely processing by those responsible

    Continuous observation of accuracy, adoption, processing cycle, error and real business results.

ACCEPTANCE

How to automate the receipt and inspection is really effective.

The acceptance cannot be based solely on whether a single demonstration runs. The following results should be observed continuously using independent samples and real anomalies, and pre-modification baselines of the same calibre should be maintained:

  • Whether the business statements can be traced back to the business documents
  • Shorter monthly closing and reconciliation cycles
  • Early exposure to receivables, costs and budget anomalies
  • Whether management sees the same set of credible data

The authorization, approval, audit and manual takeover must also be verified when it comes to the amount, customer commitment, privacy, compliance, production change or deletion operations.
