Dashboards are the New Face of Business Intelligence
Why are dashboards so popular? You can’t walk into an Information Technology department without seeing a project plan for some executive dashboard or performance dashboard project.
Are dashboards really the new face of business intelligence? Why?
Yes, I firmly believe that dashboards are here to stay. This is why:
- Users find dashboards easy to use without insulting their intelligence.
- Partioning information into chunks mirrors the way humans naturally think.
- IT departments find them fun to build.
- Business groups find them easy to fund.
- Executives like the distillation of large amounts of data into at-a-glance indicators.
- Humans respond well to colors, visual candy and lots of white space.
Take a look at the example dashboards on this site with these factors in mind and you’ll agree with me. Dashboards are here to stay.
