  ↳ If Custom is selected as the Time Frame, additional Start and End Time filters will display.

• If User was selected in the Type filter, Filter by Group - Refine the Leaderboard by comparing individuals within the same Role, Team, or Location. Learn more about Ambition's Hierarchy Levels here.

4. Optionally, Most Improved Leaderboards can be utilized on a Leaderboard TV slide as well.

What are the two types of Most Improved Leaderboards?

Within Ambition's Most Improved Leaderboard there are two ranking methods, each providing a unique ranking of the most improved.

1. Most Improved by Value

Relative rankings based on the absolute metric value, rankings are shown based on the increase or decrease in value for the selected metric.

Individuals will show a +, 0, or - in line with their name.

Examples from the image below:

Metric - Calls.

Time Frame - Today

First place, +16 = Larry has completed 16 more Calls than yesterday.

Fifth place, 0 = Russ has made the same number of Calls as yesterday.

Sixth place, -1 = Paul has made 1 less Call than yesterday.

2. Most Improved by Rank

Relative rankings based on the individual's increase or decrease in rank for the selected time frame.

Individuals will show a ˅, 0, or a ^ next to their name.

Example from the image below:

Metric - Appointments Set

Time Frame - This Week

First place, ^87  = Elizabeth improved 87 positions (rank) from last week.

Think of this ranking as a Power Ranking for a professional sports league!

How do the time frames selected impact the rank/values shown?

Why are our numbers negative? Why is the Leaderboard constantly changing? Understanding the time frame selection is central to understanding the Most Improved Leaderboard.

1. Selecting Current Time Frames (Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year):

• This Leaderboard compares the full historical time frame to the current, partial time frame.
• Values may appear low or negative early on in the selected time frame, but will turn positive as the contributors have more time to contribute to their metrics.
• Current time frame Leaderboards will rapidly adjust throughout the time frame as more employees contribute.

What are Current Time Frame Selections Comparing Against?

Partial vs Compete results comparisons example

Ellen (on a Tuesday) is 2 appointments away from matching last week's total (M-F).

As we near the end of the week, we can expect users to outperform last week's totals, moving into the + territory.

2. Selecting Historical Time Frames (Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, Last Quarter, Last Year):

• This Leaderboard will compare full, final results from historical time periods (week over week, month over month, etc.).

What are Historical Time Frame Selections Comparing Against?

Complete Result Comparisons example

• Steven held 28 more meetings last week than he did two weeks ago. He is the most improved by value.

Note: In the event of a tie, the individuals' metric value and name are used to determine who appears first on the Leaderboard as seen in the example below with 3rd and 4th place.
