Description
This training shows managers how to commission or build dashboards that change behavior, not just report numbers. You will learn the anatomy of an effective dashboard: question-driven layout, small multiples, and clear status cues. Mockups demonstrate how to group metrics by decision rather than by data source or team. You will practice turning raw tables into message-first visuals with headlines that state the conclusion. The course covers alert thresholds, comparisons vs. targets, and how to prevent misreading scale or color. You will receive wireframe kits and stakeholder interview scripts to align expectations before development. A section on dashboard hygiene explains update cadence, annotations, and version history for credibility. Hands-on labs include building a weekly management view and a daily operations view from the same dataset. You will also learn when a dashboard is the wrong tool and how to replace it with a one-page brief. By the end, your dashboards will prompt action in meetings instead of long debates over the data.
