(Almost) Paradise by the Dashboard Light: Best Practices in Dashboard Design

Dashboards are becoming common across many applications and can provide unparalleled visual access to data. But, what may seem like a data geek’s paradise can quickly become a muddled collection of noisy data points and graphs that look nice but don’t offer the access to data that we need. The thoughtful execution of dashboard design and the data it surfaces is the key to blending the aesthetic with the functional.

Join Andy Welkley from MRI as he describes best practices in dashboard design and how to maximize their effectiveness. He will cover:

• Topical dashboards and how they summarize data
• Mixed Use dashboards that track KPI and Activity Status
• Insights Dashboards that enable some exploratory functionality

These topics will demonstrate how dashboards can be utilized to drive tactical decision making and activities as well as enable senior leaders to extract the data necessary to drive strategic direction.
