A CEO dashboard is designed to provide the Chief Operating Officer (CEO) with a high-level overview of company metrics. However, the focus of these dashboards can vary. For example, some CEOs only want to see metrics related to business performance. Whereas other CEOs use dashboards to keep in touch with areas of the company, which they have been less able to devote time to, as the business has grown.

CEO dashboards often serve a dual purpose. In addition to communicating data from the business to the CEO, they also indirectly communicate the CEO’s priorities to everyone in the business.
