How old is the idea of the executive dashboard?
Over at my main site dashboardspy.com, I answer the question of “What was the first executive dashboard?” No, the answer is not some experimental enterprise dashboard from IBM or the MIT research lab, the first one goes back much further than that. Head on over to the main site to see the answer as well as view some other executive dashboards that you may have missed.
See the post titled: LEO - the First Computer-based Business Dashboard.
Also, take a look at the first PC-based dashboard: The First Spreadsheet Dashboard Report.
