Growing Your Business by Taking Control of Your Data – Jon Thompson

Are you effectively leveraging your company’s data?

On this episode, I have an interesting conversation with Jon Thompson.  Jon is the Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Margin, which is a data analytics company that organizes data into dashboards.  Jon discusses how these dashboards can help companies quickly and easily understand complex data.

Jon and his team have helped over 200 companies improve their business outcomes through the use of performance dashboards that drive focus and accountability.  Jon and the Blue Margin team works with companies in a variety of industries.

Jon also co-authored a book with his brother titled “The Dashboard Effect,” which explains why data intelligence is the next great differentiator in business.  He discusses this in more detail during our interview.

Jon also explains that dashboards aren’t just for the company leaders.  Jon encourages companies to provide dashboards to all team members, which can help build motivation and teamwork.

I’m sure you will enjoy this discussion with Jon and I encourage you to take action by clicking the link below where you can download Jon’s Stakeholder Survey and a free copy of his Book.

“Dashboards need to be people-centric, not topic-centric.  Dashboards are tools for people to consume that will improve their activities and processes.” – Jon Thompson
