Dashboard Cemetery Walk: Surviving the Corporate World | Alex Kolokolov

**Please note the earlier than usual start time due to the time zone difference with our presenter.

SESSION TRACK:
Excel & Power BI

SESSION OUTLINE:
Designers create beautiful dashboards from meaningless visuals. Analysts develop complex data models that are incomprehensible to decision makers. About 60% of business intelligence dashboards are unused. So how do you design a dashboard to survive in the corporate world?

Dashboard expert Alex Kolokolov will host a "guess if this dashboard survived" quiz and talk about the factors that affect whether your dashboard will be used. This includes looking at the initial design and proposal, user onboarding and engagement, and feedback and iteration adoption.
