Data Strategy & Foundation

KPI Frameworks &
Executive Dashboards

A shared definition of the numbers, surfaced in dashboards leaders actually trust and use.

When every team defines the KPI differently, dashboards become a debate. We build an agreed KPI framework — clear definitions, owners and targets — and surface it in executive dashboards that leaders trust enough to run the business on.

The problem

When the numbers don’t agree

Conflicting KPI definitions turn dashboards into arguments.

01

Every team a different KPI

The same metric is calculated five different ways.

02

Dashboards no one trusts

Leaders fall back to their own spreadsheets.

03

Metrics without owners

No one is accountable for a number or its target.

What we do

One set of trusted numbers

Three capabilities for KPI clarity.

KPI Framework

Agreed definitions, owners, targets and hierarchy.

Executive Dashboards

FAQ

Common questions

Which BI tool do you use?
We’re tool-neutral and build on what you own — Power BI, Tableau and others — on top of an agreed framework.
How do you get teams to agree?
We facilitate the definitions and put governance behind them, so the agreement holds beyond the first dashboard.
Use cases

Representative use cases

Common problems in this area, how KEPLER solves them, and the likely outcome.

Leadership · KPI framework

Every team measures success differently

AlignedKPI framework
The problem

Without a shared KPI framework, each function optimises its own metric and the definitions conflict, so the business pulls in different directions.

How KEPLER solves it
  • Define a KPI tree linking activity to strategic outcomes
  • Agree single definitions and owners for each metric
  • Cascade it so every level sees its line of sight
Probable outcome

One aligned set of KPIs, so teams measure success the same way and toward the same goals.

Executive · Dashboard

The board pack is 60 slides and answers nothing

Oneexecutive view
The problem

Leadership drowns in reports but still can't answer the few questions that matter, because signal is buried under volume.

How KEPLER solves it
  • Distil the vital few metrics leadership decides on
  • Design one clear executive dashboard with drill-down
  • Show trend, target and exception at a glance
Probable outcome

A single executive view that answers the real questions, with detail one click away when needed.

Operations · Metric sprawl

Hundreds of reports, no one sure which to believe

Rationalisedreport estate
The problem

Years of ad-hoc report requests leave a sprawling estate of overlapping, contradictory dashboards that cost money and erode trust.

How KEPLER solves it
  • Audit the report estate for usage and overlap
  • Consolidate onto a governed, consistent set
  • Retire the redundant and the unused
Probable outcome

A lean, trusted set of reports that agree with each other, at lower cost to run.
