TDWI Montreal Chapter : Replace your columns of numbers by talking graphics

Aug. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- If an image is worth a thousand words, in BI a dashboard is worth many columns of numbers! During the first part of this seminar, Mr. Philippe Nieuwbourg will discover with you the benefits of a well designed graphic compared to a long table of numbers. This is all good, but what graphics to choose? How to select indicators, which representation to choose, why? How to build a mobile dashboard? How to make it dynamic and interactive? He will explore with you the errors to avoid. Examples of good and bad graphics.

Participate to the objective criticism of a large European telecommunications company dashboard. The company that we will call "Blue", a major European company in the telecommunications sector, has developed a strong presence on the social media networks. Its goal: to use Twitter, Facebook and blogs to promote it’s branding among these social media population of users. In late 2011, "Blue" implemented a dashboard to measure the team's performance and progress of the notoriety of "Blue".
The first version contained numerous errors, mainly in the form. During this workshop, we will detail and discuss together the processes set up by "Blue" to create this dashboard, you will be asked to criticize the choice made by “Blue” and then together we will "correct" this first version to produce a second dashboard better suited to the business needs of the organization.
