#280: Dashboards Must Die! Long Live Dashboards! with Andy Cotgreave
Manage episode 506628102 series 62283
If you didn’t have a visceral reaction to the title for this episode, then you are almost certainly not in our target audience. There are few more certain ways to get a room full of analytics folk fired up than to raise the topic of dashboards. Are they where data goes to die, or are they the essential key to unlocking self-service access to actionable insights? Are they both? Is the question irrelevant, because, if they exist to inform business users, aren’t they soon going to be replaced by an AI-powered chatbot, anyway? We thought a great way to dig into the topic (and, BTW, we were right) would be to have someone on the show who has co-penned multiple books on the topic. As luck would have it, Andy Cotgreave, one of the co-authors of both 2017’s The Big Book of Dashboards: Visualizing Your Data Using Real-World Business Scenarios and the imminently releasing Dashboards That Deliver: How to Design, Develop, and Deploy Dashboards That Work agreed to join us for a lively chat on the topic!
This episode’s Measurement Bite from show sponsor Recast is a quick explanation of power analysis from Michael Kaminsky!
