The Big Book of Dashboards presents a comprehensive reference for those tasked with building or overseeing the development of business dashboards.
Comprising
dozens of examples that address different industries and departments
(healthcare, transportation, finance, human resources, marketing,
customer service, sports, etc.) and different platforms (print, desktop,
tablet, smartphone, and conference room display) The Big Book of Dashboards is the only book that matches great dashboards with real-world business scenarios.
By organizing the book based on these scenarios and offering practical and effective visualization examples, The Big Book of Dashboards will be the trusted resource that you open when you need to build an effective business dashboard.
In
addition to the scenarios there's an entire section of the book that is
devoted to addressing many practical and psychological factors you will
encounter in your work. It's great to have theory and evidenced-based
research at your disposal, but what will you do when somebody asks you
to make your dashboard 'cooler' by adding packed bubbles and donut
charts?
The expert authors have a combined 30-plus
years of hands-on experience helping people in hundreds of organizations
build effective visualizations. They have fought many 'best practices'
battles and having endured bring an uncommon empathy to help you, the
reader of this book, survive and thrive in the data visualization world.
A
well-designed dashboard can point out risks, opportunities, and more;
but common challenges and misconceptions can make your dashboard useless
at best, and misleading at worst. The Big Book of Dashboards gives you the tools, guidance, and models you need to produce great dashboards that inform, enlighten, and engage.
