WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Build the foundation before you build the dashboard.
A practical framework to turn unclear business needs into a clear direction for your project.
Define the real decision
Learn how to uncover the real decision behind a dashboard request, before jumping into KPIs, data or design.
Understand your audience
Identify who will actually use the dashboard, what they need to understand, and what decisions they need to make.
Ask better questions
Move beyond “What KPIs do you want?” and learn how to ask the questions that reveal the real business need.
Build your Decision Blueprint
Turn conversations, expectations and business challenges into a clear foundation you can use before starting the design.
Use the Dashboard Model Canvas
Learn how to structure your thinking around desirability, feasibility and viability to create dashboards that truly work.
Apply it to a real challenge
Put the approach into practice during the masterclass and leave with a method you can immediately reuse in your own organisation.
