Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Enterprise Dashboards
This is a great guide and handbook for helping business leaders decide on the information they want to see in their dashboards, and for helping IT professionals provide that information to them.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Use computerized "dashboards" to keep your business on the right track and out of accidents.

This is a book aimed at the experienced business intelligence developer or the C level executive. It provides a sound methodological framework for using enterprise dashboards as a fundamental performance management tool. This is a 'must read' for anyone contemplating dashboard deployment in their organization.
