Non-For Profit Board and Executive Leadership Webinar: October 2026
October 26, 2026 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Topic: Seeing What Matters: A Practical Guide to Executive Dashboards
Presenters: Jackie Negri (Negri Management Resources), Yvette Bairan (CEO, Astor Services) and Daniel Korovikov, Psy.D., (Director of Analytics & Outcomes, Astor Services)
Executive dashboards should help leaders focus attention and guide better decisions—not just summarize activity. This training helps executive leaders think differently about dashboard design, including how to identify the types of financial, operational, quality, and risk metrics their organization should be monitoring. Rather than prescribing specific measures, the focus is on developing leadership judgment about which metrics best support decision?making, how often they should be reviewed, and whether they are providing a clear and reliable picture of what’s happening.
