Abstract:
Dashboard reports are a useful tool for organizations to track institutional performance. In addition, they allow for an integrated
approach for collecting, presenting, and monitoring data to meet long and short-term decision-making needs. As in an airplane, the
dashboard consists of a wide variety of indicator lights to provide the "pilot" information about the overall performance of the highly
complex machine.
In Oakland Community College's institutional dashboard, defined measures within the framework of the College's six Purposes and
seven Strategic Goals are displayed with colors to portray areas of excellence (green), satisfactory operation (black) and areas of
concern (red).
