To differentiate your message and strategy is to stand apart, to be unique, to tell a story unlike any others. In economic development, it means raising your community profile, and getting noticed as a viable option for companies all over the world.
Over the course of my career, I’ve sat on a number of small-company boards. Looking back, it would have been nice if the managing directors had a baseline dashboard they could riff off of so as not to waste so much time on dash boarding.
So the purpose of this document is to offer a baseline template dashboard that a start-up firm could use to update the board of directors. All the data would need to be filled in with real data, of course. And, the dashboard would have to be customized to meet the reporting requirements and operational uniqueness of the business. That said, baselines can save time and spark thought-threads.
Remember that reporting should be for the sake of strategic enlightenment and to drive transparent discussions, and not for the sake of reporting.
If anyone out there has some additional points of data they use effectively in their small-business management reporting , I’d love to hear about it!

Creating & Realising Value for your CompanyMark Ostryn
The goal of most businesses is to create value that will eventually be realised by a successful exit (trade sale, IPO etc)
Mark Ostryn firstly uses case studies to review the key drivers of value - future vision, right product right space right time, team, barriers to entry, scalability, strategic flexibility and appropriate alliances and partnerships.
He then reviews two key valuation methods, multiples and DCF, but argues that truly successful entrepreneurs should be looking at a sale value well above a mathematical valuation based on the purchaser of the company p[lacing added strategic value on it.
Mark then finally reviews the processes and issues involved with due diligence.
