Welcome to Dashboard Insight

Leveraging the collective consciousness of the business intelligence community

Welcome to Dashboard Insight (DI). We're an online resource dedicated to the Business Intelligence (BI) industry. Increasingly, that’s becoming known as BPM (Business Process Management) today.

If you are here to discover innovative new ways of increasing productivity in your enterprise, business intelligence solutions are the surest way to help you do that.

At Dashboard Insight, we host the latest in Business Performance Management tools, technologies and concepts. Our industry leading writers continuously explore new and better ways of looking at how businesses grow and how they can develop organically to get that “Next Level”.

By examining your business’s Key Performance Indicators, or KPI’s – the key metrics that you know are the best indicators of your business’s performance -- first from a historical perspective, and then monitoring them going forward – and then using those metrics as PREDICTIVE indicators of where your business is headed – you can align your business activities in an optimal way to generate growth in revenues, capture efficiencies in productivity, and mitigate risk.

BI is all about that. And by using the latest in data visualization tools you can actually have critical snapshots of all that at a glance.

It’s not a panacea for business success – but it is a necessary requirement for any business managers, of small or large entities, to understand where they are and what to do in order to get to where they want to go. As the man said, “You can’t manage it, if you can’t measure it.”

I invite you to take a thorough visit through the site and discover the many options that are open to you, and take advantage of the BI technologies that will best benefit your organization.

By the way, Steve Bogdon and I will be down in San Diego for the TDWI World Conference next week (August 17 - 22). So if you want more information or to talk about partnering, or maybe do an interview one-on-one with myself and get your company some great exposure on the DI site, please do drop by our booth (# 206). Hope to see you there!
