What is Profit Picture®?
Profit Picture automates your spreadsheets and creates a visual representation of your most important data across multiple sources to show you trends and reveal current, actionable data in seconds.
Profit Picture provides usable intelligence that helps businesses track progress relative to their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
How do we do it?
1. Actionable data—easy to communicate and understand
2. Visual Trends — What gets measured gets done.
3. Improve Accountability — see the movement, not just a snapshot in time.
4. Retain Top Performers — the ones it would hurt to lose.
5. Worry Free Implementation — Profit Picture uses your existing systems and data to populate dashboards.

“I can spend time on managing rather than on studying financials.”
1. Actionable Data – data becomes easy to communicate and understand
You collect lots of data—it’s everywhere—but it’s usually disorganized and not integrated. The people who need to take action aren’t necessarily financial gurus or good at spreadsheets. Let a picture tell the story in 10 seconds or less. Don’t ask your employees to decipher a monster spreadsheet. Drill down on your data easily for more detail when you need it. Profit Picture enables you to have smarter conversations with your management team.
2. Improved accountability—What gets measured gets done
Measurement through numbers brings clarity. According to Michael Fishman, “clarity trumps everything.” Alignment on corporate and departmental objectives is key for the success of any organization. Profit Picture helps bring the clarity you need to communicate progress.
Employees, especially millennials, want more immediate feedback on how they are doing. If you have the right people in each job, they don’t mind being held accountable for goals and objectives and you can more clearly articulate a company’s vision.
“So much more helpful than a stack of spreadsheets.”
3. Show trends not numbers—see the movement, not just a snapshot in time.
Seeing trends over time is more meaningful than just yesterday’s numbers. How did you do over the same period last year? Over the previous 3 months? Profit Picture will help you uncover early warning signals so your organization will have time to react before it shows up on the bottom line. You will rely less on “gut” feelings and more on the conversion of data into meaningful business intelligence.
4. Retain key talent—the ones it would hurt to lose
Studies show that CEOs claim finding and retaining the right talent was their most significant business issue. (Source: WSJ Vistage Small Business CEO Survey, Q1 2015). Profit Picture helps you build an accountability and rewards culture, tracking it at the company level and executive level. By creating the right type of incentives and tracking and communicating them properly, companies avoid the loss of a key profit producer to a competitor.
5. Simple to implement—Profit Picture uses your existing systems and data to populate dashboards
Our implementation process is specifically designed to minimize the time needed to launch Profit Picture in your organization. Profit Picture easily integrates across your current systems without the need for any customizations.

Chris’s Kolbe Profile is 8-6-4-2 which says his forte is in combining his sense of history with his talent for seeing themes. He uses the greatest amount of energy figuring out the background of a problem and the steps necessary to solve it. He is great at helping define objectives, establishing priorities and developing complex strategies.
