Beyond Dashboards Workshop

November 7, 2019 | Ottawa, Canada

Workshop Description
Based on Nick Desbarats' experiences designing dashboards for over 50 large organizations and teaching dashboard design to thousands of professionals, the one-day Beyond Dashboards course uncovers the real reasons why so many dashboards fail to satisfy users and organizations; reasons that go far deeper than the visual design on which most dashboard books and courses focus. Participants will learn a practical, actionable framework for creating a system of purpose-specific displays (problem-scanning displays, metric diagnostic displays, performance reporting displays, etc.) that enables users to get answers to their data-related questions quickly and easily, including basic ones such as, “Is everything O.K. at the moment?”, often for the first time.

For more detailed information, please visit the Beyond Dashboards course information page.

Space is limited to allow for a high degree of personal interaction and feedback, and early registration is recommended. Early Bird rates (approximately 7% off the regular registration fee) will be in effect until Oct. 7.
