OT Dashboard Adoption Rate at 92% adoption target: a worked example

Push adoption target up to 92% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when an operations or analytics lead is tracking whether the new dashboards (PI Vision, Grafana, Power BI on OT data) are actually being used by the people they were built for.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Distinct active dashboard users in the period: 42 users (unchanged)
  • Target user base for the dashboard: 60 users (unchanged)
  • Adoption target: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (OT dashboard adoption rate = active users ÷ target user base × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 70 % for ot dashboard adoption rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 22 points for adoption gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 42 count for active users.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 60 count for target user base.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where adoption target sits at 80% and the headline result is 70 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 70 %.
  • It computes the dashboard adoption rate as distinct active users divided by the target user base, and the adoption gap as the target rate minus the actual rate in percentage points. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • OT dashboard adoption rate: 70 % (headline result)
  • Adoption gap to target: 22 points
  • Active users: 42 count
  • Target user base: 60 count
