Visual Design for Analytical Information
For all levels of management within organisations business intelligence is an essential component of the decision-making process. Therefore it is not unreasonable to assume managers want further insights into their business information and direction combined with a greater level of confi dence and trust.
Despite the vast number of reporting tools, many organisations are still struggling to present their data in an effective manner and uncover relationships between KPIs that would have otherwise never have been detected. Dashboards can easily become over-developed or lack visual creativity rather than focusing on the strength of the information being provided. With some simple techniques and applied methodology you can achieve brilliant design of your analytic applications and dramatically improve your business value proposition.
