Effective Dashboard Design Outline


Module Reference: BI-6
Coach / Facilitator: Gail La Grouw

 


Description

Why is it that over 66% of executives who claim they get the data they need, struggle to convert that data into actionable insight?

Our investigation has shown that aside from lack of data and business insight literacy, around 90% of dashboards fail to meet the basic principles of dashboard design.

Too often, dashboards are developed in brand colours, with graphics more suited to the annual report than a performance dashboard, and the impact is reflected in the above statistic.

This module is designed to significantly improve the value decision makers get from their dashboards.
