What's it like being behind the wheel of a data dashboard?

2/3/2014

0 Comments

 
I'm writing a piece for the March 26 edition of the Financial Times Connected Business report looking at data dashboards*.

The overall theme of the
report is big data and analytics. My article will be about the experience of using a dashboard to convey masses of information in a palatable form. I want to explain by real example how a dashboard can allow CEOs to take rapid, sound decisions.

I really do not want to hear from tech companies talking about how they use this kind of software. It's the words of their customers that I'm after. I am open to opinions from people other than CEOs who think they are better qualified to sit at a screen and read the dashboard.

As ever the object of the exercise is to give readers an impression of how technology is being used in the real world today, not how suppliers claim it will work in the future.

I want to conclude interviews by close of play on Wednesday 12 March and I'm keen to talk to anyone who has turned the idea of a data dashboard to the advantage of a business anywhere in the world.


*What are the best data dashboards for CEOs? What should a dashboard be giving you and should it be the CEO rather than the CIO or another member of the C-suite who is looking at the business analytics dashboard?
