For more than 20 years, dashboards have served as a foundational element of business intelligence, helping leaders and teams visualize and share valuable data across the organization.
In more recent years however, analytics adoption rates have started to stagnate somewhat. Only 10% of executives believe their company is analytics mature. More than 84% of frontline workers report poor analytics experiences and needing better insights and technology to keep pace with trying times.
A contributing factor to this stagnation is that the dashboards of today aren’t built to meet the needs of today’s always-on, always-changing world. Your business can’t afford to wait days or weeks for trained analysts to produce insights from stale data.
As a result, we hear many claims from tech vendors and thought-leaders that the dashboard is becoming obsolete. That the dashboard is dying. That it’s being rendered totally useless because it doesn’t have these qualities.
But what if the dashboards of today were built to meet the needs of today’s always-on, always changing world? What if your business didn’t have to wait days or weeks for trained analysts to produce insights from stale data?
Would the dashboard that has served us so well up until this point still not have immense value?
The reality is that dashboards today are more ubiquitous than ever. The growth of Tableau, Power BI and other visualization tools used across an organization has been significant in recent years. Consider for a moment how many dashboards are currently at play within your own organization.
At a time where establishing data-driven cultures is so difficult , maybe the prominent, familiar method of presenting and reporting on data that millions of people globally are leveraging every single day shouldn’t be disposed of so quickly. Maybe instead of chalking up significant investment in data as lacking returns, we instead find ways to maximize our existing investments even further.
The dashboard is worth saving (at least for now). Let’s further investigate the problems around dashboards today and see how we can correct them.
When we investigated why dashboards were no longer delivering for organizations as effectively as they once were, we found some commonalities:
