Build a solid foundation for data-driven decision making with KPI frameworks, data dictionaries, business glossaries, and structured documentation your whole team can understand and use.
Ask three people in your business what “conversion rate” means, and you will likely get three different answers. Ask what your top KPIs are, and different departments will give you different lists. This lack of shared language and structure is one of the most common and most costly problems in growing businesses. It leads to misaligned goals, inconsistent reporting, wasted effort, and decisions made on incompatible data.
What We Do Havilah Grace Digital creates the foundational documents that give your organisation a consistent, shared language around data, performance, and process. These are not generic templates, they are built specifically for your business, using your actual metrics, your terminology, and your team’s way of working.
What We Create:
Business Glossary A clear, agreed definition of every key business term used in your organisation. What does “a lead” mean in your business? What counts as “a sale”? When is a customer “active”? A business glossary eliminates ambiguity and ensures everyone is measuring the same things the same way.
KPI Framework A structured set of Key Performance Indicators aligned to your business goals, with clear definitions, calculation methods, data sources, owners, targets, and reporting frequencies. Covers strategic, operational, and departmental KPIs.
Data Dictionary A technical reference document that describes your data assets, what data you hold, where it lives, what each field means, how it is collected, and who owns it. Essential for any business building or improving its data infrastructure.
Process Documentation Clear, step-by-step documentation of your key business processes, onboarding, reporting cycles, data entry procedures, approval workflows, and more. Reduces reliance on institutional knowledge and makes onboarding new staff significantly faster.
Reporting Templates and Standards Standardised report templates and guidelines that ensure every report produced in your organisation follows a consistent structure, uses consistent metrics, and communicates clearly.
Data Governance Policies Simple, practical policies covering how data is collected, stored, accessed, and maintained in your business, including data quality standards and roles and responsibilities.
Who This Is For
Growing businesses where information is held in people’s heads rather than documented, organisations preparing to implement new technology or data tools and needing a solid foundation first, businesses where different teams are working from different definitions of the same metrics, and companies that have experienced data quality or reporting consistency issues.
What to Expect From Us
We begin with a discovery workshop to understand your business structure, your existing metrics, and where the biggest gaps and inconsistencies are. We then draft the documentation, review it with your team, refine it based on feedback, and deliver a final set of documents in your preferred format. We also offer a brief training session to walk your team through how to use and maintain each document.
