This is a great guide and handbook for helping business leaders decide on the information they want to see in their dashboards, and for helping IT professionals provide that information to them.

3 out of 5 starsUse computerized "dashboards" to keep your business on the right track and out of accidents., 2007-04-02
Shadan Malik aims to acquaint businesses with the concept of "dashboards" and the process of implementing them, from collecting information and assessing the audience to storyboarding and project planning. Other dashboard-related books discuss the value of these information platforms, but don't explain how to create them. One warning: The book is crammed with charts and images, which may turn off readers who don't absorb information graphically, though it will please those who do. Some screenshots are so poorly reproduced that you may think you suddenly need a new eyeglass prescription. We recommend this book to executives, department heads, managers and other businesspeople who wish to implement a dashboard and need some practical guidance.

1 out of 5 starsMinimal utility--other books are better, 2006-10-24
If this is the only book on dashboards you read, you won't know that it doesn't contain much help or good "best practices". There was little I found to help me in my investigation of good dashboard design. In particular, I was annoyed that nearly all graphics are fuzzy and not crisp, and none are in color. Also, the author never mentions that dashboard meters that look like analog speedometers are space-wasting, and are NOT a best practice--like Wayne Eckerson does in his book, "Performance Dashboards". The table (not matrix--the incorrect term the author uses) provided for assessing dashboards was very superficial--not something I found useful at all. The book even contained a sentence fragment in a topic sentence--something I found unforgiveable in a hardbound book in this price range.

I thought it was ok at best. Maybe I just know more than I thought :) But I didn't really get a lot out of this one.

5 out of 5 starsA Dashboard Implementation Primer, 2006-07-25
This is a book aimed at the experienced business intelligence developer or the C level executive. It provides a sound methodological framework for using enterprise dashboards as a fundamental performance management tool. This is a 'must read' for anyone contemplating dashboard deployment in their organization.
