The context

An international project to make better use of performance data.

The STEP performance management project is run from the United States. It addresses site managers and their entire reporting line, who have to analyse and understand what Microsoft Power BI returns.

The blind spot

An indicator on screen is not an indicator understood.

The report opens, the figures are there. What remains is knowing exactly what each indicator measures, and how to read it in the context of a given country. That is where the manager stops.
