Measuring actionable results (keyword: actionable) are what many businesses, and quite frankly, "dashboards" are missing. Metrics such as "time on site" or "total visitors" don't mean much out of context. How about giving me the total visitors who didn't use ytour brand name as a keyword to find you, stayed on the site at least 2 minutes, but not more than 10, and consumed at least 5 pages. Or, how about my organic conversions are running at a 50% lower cost of acquisition than my paid conversions. Now that's analytics! Paul – I completely agree with you!
