Show them the data. What do trustees need to know and how do they need to know it?
As trustees' accountability expands, they need to keep up with a growing body of institutional information. Unfortunately, too many boards get inundated with raw data and don't know what to do with them. That's where "dashboards" and "scorecards" that highlight trends and show comparisons of significant indicators can make all the difference.
