Performance Dashboard Design
A structured development process with adequate stakeholder involvement is required to ensure a dashboard's success. This research assignment has provided mandatory dashboard criteria, categorized as dashboard content, analysis, visual effects, platforms, business culture, and maintenance. There is a discussion regarding "real-time" vs. "static". How would you define each, and how would either affect the design outcome of your dashboard?
6. Research Findings and Discussion
6.7 Business intelligence maturity
Participants were requested to comment on which stage of the BI maturity model they believed their business unit was currently in. The participants' responses are presented in Table 1. Most of the business units were clustered between the 'infant' and 'teenager' stages, with the business unit of Participant 5 being highly advanced in the 'adult' to 'sage' stages. All participants indicated that they were in the process of progressing to the next stages. The organisation had already implemented scorecards, and had an established planning and scheduling process that ensured that the overall business performance was optimal.
