Welcome to Dashboard Insight

Leveraging the collective consciousness of the business intelligence community

As the name suggests, DI is primarily focused on that most useful of business intelligence tools: the digital dashboard.

So we do present intelligent writing on all matters around the creation, building and deployment of business-enriching dashboards. You can also see examples of real-life working dashboards with dynamic features, and we choose from among these submissions our “Dashboard of the Week”. These fascinating, real-world dashboards may well spark your own ideas for the better use of information, its most effective display, and its transformation into intelligence. In short, we immodestly aim to be the sine qua non online destination for all things dashboard.

But we also address business intelligence issues, beyond dashboards, that are unique to a diversity of business verticals. From Reporting, to Analysis, to Monitoring, right through to Prediction, we publish excellent material on a daily basis from top thinkers in the industry. Everything from understanding fundamental KPIs to discussion of breaking issues on the very frontiers of BI – it’s all pertinent for our audience of business owners and executives, BI professionals, analysts and developers alike. Our intention is to stay abreast of the breaking technologies and ideas that are driving this always interesting industry.

It may sound ambitious, but if we can tap into and leverage the collective consciousness of the business intelligence community, then we will achieve our goal of providing a forum for relevant thought and expression of ideas on the smart and effective use of dashboards. And we will have served a useful purpose for the industry. That’s our aim and, with your help, we can do it.

So again, welcome to the site – I’m delighted you are here. We look forward to sharing the journey with you, so please do drop me a line if you have any comment at all on what you see here, or what you would like to see!
