Method and system for displaying prioritization of metric values

A computing system, method, and computer program product display a plurality of metric values by forming a plurality of cells within a two-dimensional array and generating and displaying, within the plurality of cells, an indication of mutual importance for a set of metric values associated with two entities. The two entities are within one business entity or represent two business entities. The indication of mutual importance is selected from a fixed set of values of relative importance and indicated by one of a set of colors, a set of grey-scale tones, a set of backgrounds, a set of patterns, and a set of cell border styles. The method further identifies at least two metrics values in conflict, creates a diagram wherein conflicting metrics values are arranged in a circular manner, and indicates a relationship between conflicting metric values as a line with a steering direction indicated by an arrowhead.
