“By visualizing information, we turn it into a landscape that you can explore with your eyes. A sort of information map. And when you’re lost in information, an information map is kind of useful.” – David McCandless

The primary goal of a dashboard is to enable data visualization for decision making. Dashboards display the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives that fit entirely on a single computer screen, so it can be monitored at a glance.

Dashboards consolidate and arrange numbers and metrics on a single screen. A well-designed dashboard is a remarkable information management tool.

Data dashboards: Collections of tables, charts, maps, and summary statistics that are updated as new data become available.

Dashboards can be;

• Static for a one-time view, or

• Dynamic & interactive showing data changes

Effective Dashboards:

• Should present timely summary data or metrics/KPIs (useful to the user/decision-maker)

• Should inform rather than overwhelm

• Should call attention to unusual metrics/KPIs that require attention or are of interest

Uses of dashboards

• To help management monitor specific aspects of the company’s performance related to their decision-making responsibilities

• For corporate-level managers, daily data dashboards might summarize sales by region, current inventory levels, and other company-wide metrics

• Front-line managers may view dashboards that contain metrics related to staffing levels, local inventory levels, and short-term sales forecasts

An HR Dashboard is a data visualization/visual display of important HR metrics, stats & insights on a single screen. The primary purpose of an HR Dashboard is for decision making by management teams of organizations.
