Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are quantifiable measurements that reflect the critical success factors of an organization ranging from income that comes from return customers to percentage of customer calls answered in the first minute. Key Performance Indicators may also be used to measure performance in other types of organizations such as schools, social service organizations, and the like. Measures employed as KPI within an organization may include a variety of types such as revenue in currency, growth or decrease of a measure in percentage, actual values of a measurable quantity, and the like.
Many analytic tools used in performance metric space to drill down into data are typically designed as single-users systems. Without the ability to collaborate with peers on the patterns and anomalies found in data, users are left to their own assumptions, which—as they are compounded in further analysis—can lead to misunderstandings and expensive errors based on misinterpreted data.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Embodiments are directed to enabling users to participate in a real-time collaborative environment using performance metric applications, where questions and concerns about data being analyzed can be immediately discussed. Performance metric applications embedded in communication applications or communication applications embedded in performance metric applications may enable context based collaboration through local implementation or in a service based architecture.
These and other features and advantages will be apparent from a reading of the following detailed description and a review of the associated drawings. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are explanatory only and are not restrictive of aspects as claimed.
As briefly described above, users are enabled to participate in a real-time collaborative environment within specific peer groups using performance metric applications. In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustrations specific embodiments or examples. These aspects may be combined, other aspects may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description is therefore not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
While the embodiments will be described in the general context of program modules that execute in conjunction with an application program that runs on an operating system on a personal computer, those skilled in the art will recognize that aspects may also be implemented in combination with other program modules.
Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, and other types of structures that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that embodiments may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. Embodiments may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
Embodiments may be implemented as a computer process (method), a computing system, or as an article of manufacture, such as a computer program product or computer readable media. The computer program product may be a computer storage media readable by a computer system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process. The computer program product may also be a propagated signal on a carrier readable by a computing system and encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process.

Scorecards are an easy method of evaluating organizational performance. The performance measures may vary from financial data such as sales growth to service information such as customer complaints. In a non-business environment, student performances and teacher assessments may be another example of performance measures that can employ scorecards for evaluating organizational performance. In the exemplary scorecard architecture, a core of the system is scorecard engine 108. Scorecard engine 108 may be an application software that is arranged to evaluate performance metrics. Scorecard engine 108 may be loaded into a server, executed over a distributed network, executed in a client device, and the like.
Data for evaluating various measures may be provided by a data source. The data source may include source systems 112, which provide data to a scorecard cube 114. Source systems 112 may include multi-dimensional databases such OLAP, other databases, individual files, and the like, that provide raw data for generation of scorecards. Scorecard cube 114 is a multi-dimensional database for storing data to be used in determining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as well as generated scorecards themselves. As discussed above, the multi-dimensional nature of scorecard cube 114 enables storage, use, and presentation of data over multiple dimensions such as compound performance indicators for different geographic areas, organizational groups, or even for different time intervals. Scorecard cube 114 has a bi-directional interaction with scorecard engine 108 providing and receiving raw data as well as generated scorecards.
Scorecard database 116 is arranged to operate in a similar manner to scorecard cube 114. In one embodiment, scorecard database 116 may be an external database providing redundant back-up database service.
Scorecard builder 102 may be a separate application or a part of a business logic application such as the performance evaluation application, and the like. Scorecard builder 102 is employed to configure various parameters of scorecard engine 108 such as scorecard elements, default values for actuals, targets, and the like. Scorecard builder 102 may include a user interface such as a web service, a GUI, and the like.
Strategy map builder 104 is employed for a later stage in scorecard generation process. As explained below, scores for KPIs and other metrics may be presented to a user in form of a strategy map. Strategy map builder 104 may include a user interface for selecting graphical formats, indicator elements, and other graphical parameters of the presentation.
Data Sources 106 may be another source for providing raw data to scorecard engine 108. Data sources 106 may also define KPI mappings and other associated data.
Additionally, the scorecard architecture may include scorecard presentation 110. This may be an application to deploy scorecards, customize views, coordinate distribution of scorecard data, and process web-specific applications associated with the performance evaluation process. For example, scorecard presentation 110 may include a web-based printing system, an email distribution system, and the like. In some embodiments, scorecard presentation 110 may be an interface that is used as part of the scorecard engine to export data and/or views to a desktop visualization application enabling visualizations of performance metric (e.g. using composite objects).
Scorecard architecture may also include collaboration application 118 that enables users to exchange information, talk, hold video conference, and perform other forms of collaboration about the performance metrics processed by the scorecard engine 108.
When creating a KPI, the KPI definition may be used across several scorecards. This is useful when different scorecard managers might have a shared KPI in common. This may ensure a standard definition is used for that KPI. Despite the shared definition, each individual scorecard may utilize a different data source and data mappings for the actual KPI.
Each KPI may include a number of attributes. Some of these attributes include frequency of data, unit of measure, trend type, weight, and other attributes.
The frequency of data identifies how often the data is updated in the source database (cube). The frequency of data may include: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Annually.
The unit of measure provides an interpretation for the KPI. Some of the units of measure are: Integer, Decimal, Percent, Days, and Currency. These examples are not exhaustive, and other elements may be added without departing from the scope of the invention.
A trend type may be set according to whether an increasing trend is desirable or not. For example, increasing profit is a desirable trend, while increasing defect rates is not. The trend type may be used in determining the KPI status to display and in setting and interpreting the KPI banding boundary values. The arrows displayed in the scorecard of
Weight is a positive integer used to qualify the relative value of a KPI in relation to other KPIs. It is used to calculate the aggregated scorecard value. For example, if an Objective in a scorecard has two KPIs, the first KPI has a weight of 1, and the second has a weight of 3 the second KPI is essentially three times more important than the first, and this weighted relationship is part of the calculation when the KPIs' values are rolled up to derive the values of their parent metric.
Other attributes may contain pointers to custom attributes that may be created for documentation purposes or used for various other aspects of the scorecard system such as creating different views in different graphical representations of the finished scorecard. Custom attributes may be created for any scorecard element and may be extended or customized by application developers or users for use in their own applications. They may be any of a number of types including text, numbers, percentages, dates, and hyperlinks.
One of the benefits of defining a scorecard is the ability to easily quantify and visualize performance in meeting organizational strategy. By providing a status at an overall scorecard level, and for each perspective, each objective or each KPI rollup, one may quickly identify where one might be off target. By utilizing the hierarchical scorecard definition along with KPI weightings, a status value is calculated at each level of the scorecard.
First column of the scorecard shows example top level metric 236 “Manufacturing” with its reporting KPIs 238 and 242 “Inventory” and “Assembly”. Second column 222 in the scorecard shows results for each measure from a previous measurement period. Third column 224 shows results for the same measures for the current measurement period. In one embodiment, the measurement period may include a month, a quarter, a tax year, a calendar year, and the like.
Fourth column 226 includes target values for specified KPIs on the scorecard. Target values may be retrieved from a database, entered by a user, and the like. Column 228 of the scorecard shows status indicators 230.
Status indicators 230 convey the state of the KPI. An indicator may have a predetermined number of levels. A traffic light is one of the most commonly used indicators. It represents a KPI with three-levels of results—Good, Neutral, and Bad. Traffic light indicators may be colored red, yellow, or green. In addition, each colored indicator may have its own unique shape. A KPI may have one stoplight indicator visible at any given time. Other types of indicators may also be employed to provide status feedback. For example, indicators with more than three levels may appear as a bar divided into sections, or bands. Column 232 includes trend type arrows as explained above under KPI attributes. Column 234 shows another KPI attribute, frequency.
The user interface of the scorecard application as shown in the screenshot include controls 354 for performing actions such as formatting of data, view options, actions on the presented information, and the like. The main portion of the user interface displays scorecard 358 “Contoso Corporate Scorecard”. The scorecard includes metrics such as “Internet Sales Amount”, “Internet Order Quantity”, “Customer Count”, and the like in column 362. Columns 364 and 366 respectively display actuals and targets for the category of “Accessories” for each of the listed metrics. Columns 368 and 372 display the actuals for the categories “Bikes” and “Female” (referring to female bikes).
Side panel 352 titled “Workspace Browser” provides a selection of available KPIs as well as elements of the scorecard such indicators and reports that are associated with the selected scorecard. Other side panel 356 provides additional details about available scorecard elements such as a collapsible list of KPIs, targets, and dimension combinations. A scorecard application, as discussed in further detail below, may include additional aspects of the scorecard such as different visualizations, linked information (geography, time and date, contact information, etc.), commentary, and so on.
A number of controls may be provided in a scorecard application user interface for providing personalized and scalable metrics information to a user. For example, the user may be enabled to view reports, data, commentary, and so on by clicking on any one of the scorecard elements.
The scorecard application user interface in
The user interface also includes controls for scorecard related actions, navigation actions, analysis actions, as well as collaboration actions 484. In the example user interface, two collaboration options are provided, instant messaging and live meeting. Another approach for providing collaboration actions is a pop-up style dropdown menu 490 for user selection. Details of the example dropdown menu are provided below.
The dropdown menu may be activated in response to a selection of a metric (e.g. a KPI) and include an indication of a metric owner (KPI Owner: Jeff Wang). The dropdown menu may include personal information about the owner such as availability information 592 and office information.
Next, available collaboration options are provided for selection. In the example dropdown menu, available options include phone call 593, email 594, and live meeting 595. Other options such as video conference, instant messaging, and so on may also be provided. Phone call 593 may be a Voice Over IP (VOIP) call, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) call, an Internet Telephony call, and the like.
Other actions (596) provided in the dropdown menu include electronic mail options such as adding to contacts, looking up in contacts, and the like. Typical desktop application actions like copy and select (597) may also be provided.
The controls at the top portion of the user interface and the list of metrics selection on the side panel are similar to those in
Meeting participant information 604 and 606 include participants' names, places, local time, as well as pictures of the participants. The pictures may be live video feeds from the participants' locations.
Electronic mail application 720 may have typical features of an electronic mail application such as a preview pane, menu items for composing, sending, replying to, forwarding a message, and so on. An electronic mail application according to embodiments may also include a separate panel (or tab) for providing a user interface for the embeddable performance metric application.
The performance metric application user interface within the electronic mail application may include various visualizations of metric data and controls associated with performance metric computations. Composite gauge 722 provides information associated with “operating margin for Model T30 bicycle”. The gauge is complemented by numeric display of change in the metric and a down arrow indicating the trend of the metric.
Diagram 728 in the center of the user interface shows relationships between different metrics such as metrics that report to the “operating margin for Model T30 bicycle” metric and metrics to which “operating margin for Model T30 bicycle” reports. Each metric is displayed with a gauge and numeric information conveying its status.
View details 724 provide options to a user for selecting different analysis and report types. Actions section 726 provides options for various user actions such as printing, emailing, updating data, and so on associated with the metric in view. If the emailing option is selected the user interface may revert to standard user interface of the electronic mail application 720.
Panel 730 of the user interface provides details about the metric owner (e.g. contact information), as well as metric view 732 displaying status of the metric with the previous period's score. The personal information of the metric owner may be retrieved from a Contacts database of the electronic mail application 720.
Composite gauge 722 is one example of visual representations of metric data. Other visualizations may include one or more indicators such as circled check marks, check marks, flags, pie chart icons, traffic signs, traffic lights, and the like, which utilize shape and color to convey performance metric information to the user. The indicators employ geometric units to visualize business performance and show magnitude, patterns of structured and unstructured data, interrelationships, causalities, and dependencies. Through visualizing outputs of quantitative models business users may be enabled to make faster, more relevant decisions based on data that is readily interpreted. A background color or shape of the visualizations may be used to reflect the performance metric status according to a scheme (e.g. green for on target, yellow for slightly off target, and red for off target).
A service based architecture allows for the reuse of existing assets where new services can be created from an existing infrastructure of systems. In other words, it enables businesses to leverage existing investments by allowing them to reuse existing applications, and promises interoperability between heterogeneous applications and technologies. Service based architectures provide a level of flexibility in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation-independent. An important aspect of service based architecture is the separation of the service interface from its implementation. Such services are consumed by clients that are not concerned with how these services will execute their requests. Services are commonly self-contained (perform predetermined tasks) and loosely coupled. Furthermore, services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services.
A service based architecture uses a find-bind-execute paradigm. In this paradigm, service providers register their service in a public registry. This registry is used by consumers to find services that match certain criteria. If the registry has such a service, it provides the consumer with a contract and an endpoint address for that service. Service based applications are typically distributed multi-tier applications that have presentation, business logic, and persistence layers. Services are the building blocks of service based applications.

Another optional way is for one or more of the individual operations of the methods to be performed in conjunction with one or more human operators performing some. These human operators need not be collocated with each other, but each can be only with a machine that performs a portion of the program.
Process 1100 begins with operation 1102, where performance metric data is received from one or more data sources. Processing advances from operation 1102 to operation 1104.
At operation 1104, a configuration input is received for the performance metric data visualization. The visualization may be configured using the received input from a user or a hosted business service based on a user profile. Processing proceeds from operation 1104 to operation 1106.
At operation 1106, the visualization based on the received performance metric data is rendered. The visualization may include a scorecard view, a report view, combinations, a presentation, and the like. As described previously, one or more indicators, icons, miniature charts, audio, and video may be used to render the visualization. Processing moves from operation 1106 to operation 1108.
At operation 1108, a request for collaboration is received from the user. The collaboration may include communication with other users about the performance metric(s) through electronic mail, instant messaging, audio conference, video conference, online meeting, and the like. Processing advances to operation 1110 from operation 1108.
At operation 1110, a communication application for the collaboration is activated. Processing advances to optional operation 1112 from operation 1110.
At optional operation 1112, an input associated with the performance metric visualization is received from one of the participants of the collaboration. The input may include modification of data or report views, addition of new data, deletion of existing elements, and the like. Processing advances to optional operation 1114 from optional operation 1112.
At optional operation 1114, the visualization is updated based on the input received in optional operation 1112. After operation 1112, processing moves to a calling process for further actions.
