Effective Dashboard Design
Autor Gail La Grouwen Limba Engleză Paperback
Effective Dashboard Design is about performance dashboards - taking the reader on a journey of converting typical reporting style dashboards into dashboards specifically designed to promote improvement in strategic performance. This is not a book about screens for system monitoring or how to develop the backend data infrastructure. Both these topics are expert areas in themselves - this is a book about dashboards that are action focused to effectively improve productivity and increase profit.

This is not just a design book - it's a 'how to book'. It provides real-life examples, independent of the type of software being used.
Dashboard design is not intuitive and goes beyond the way a dashboard looks. Effective dashboards perform well because they have the right KPI visualized in the best possible way. This book covers both of these elements. Starting from a proven theoretical background from visualization experts such as Edward Tufte and Stephen Few - it then takes a step further into the detailed thought processes behind tweaking every graph.
In spite of strong opinions based on factual research, EDD is no 'listen to me, I'm an expert' kind of book. It gets to the raw heart of what makes a dashboard perform - not just look good. The design concepts in this book are founded on proven practices - not just personal preferences. They make sense. They constantly aim to give the end user more value. The advice given is immediately applicable to any dashboard, in any business.
