Before I continue my ‘next post’ on Web Dashboards, I want this post to go first. This post will cover a topic I’ve been working on involving Twitter data and the relationships in that data. Many of you probably know this type of visualization already, the network visualization. As in an earlier post on doing […]
Recently I’ve been doing some research into the world of web applications or mashups. The new capabilities that ship with Qlik Sense are really nice to explore and again give designers and developers a huge potential of creating better experiences when thinking of data-driven applications. This post is intended to highlight a few examples of […]
I think that ROI (Return on Investment) is one of the most important factors for the existence of any data-driven solution. If your solution isn’t being actively used in decision making, it is worthless! This is one of the most important rules out there. Usage. But not for the sake of it. For real […]
Your assignment and task for designing and creating a dashboard is an important one. Creating oversight, insight and alerting for consumers to see how performance is progressing, is a real challenge.

A while ago I stumbled upon this website with executions in the state of Texas. Then you start thinking about all that happened and other intimidating stuff. After that it took me a while – after bookmarking the source – when I found it again in one of my bookmark collections. This started me to […]
I often hear a question like ‘How should one design a dashboard?’. Oftentimes this conversation is about charts, design elements, positioning/layout or colors. In this case people should already be familiar with their content and data, right? Then most of the times I’m still surprised people don’t always know the content and the exact requirements […]
