How to Build World-Class Dashboards

Steve's talk starts at 7:00 after the announcements for the DFW DataViz Meetup group. As one of the co-authors of the new book, The Big Book of Dashboards (http://amzn.to/2tWBy66), Steve Wexler will share with you their proven best practices and real-life case studies based on over 30 years of hands-on experience, for building business dashboards that will help you find more insights from your data more quickly. If we're lucky, one of the other co-authors, Jeffrey Shaffer, may also join the presentation. Cross your fingers! In Steve's talk, you can expect to learn about: • The overarching goal -- how to get the right information, to the right audience, using the right medium, in a way that allows them to assimilate the information they need as quickly as possible. • How to avoid “screaming cats.” (Not sure what these are? You’ll find out). • How to avoid common color mistakes. • Why you should use BANs (Big-ass Numbers). • Latest discoveries in eye-tracking research. • Why the best work often involves iteration and collaboration, and how you can find collaborators. • “Stealing like an artist” -- how to apply these techniques to your own business scenarios.
