Collaborative Dashboards

Collaborative Dashboards bring together the capabilities of visualization tools, smart user interfaces and data aggregation across systems with the powerful collaboration capabilities made available through Web 2.0 technologies. Combining traditional dashboards with collaborative features such as discussions, comments, chat and wikis allows decision makers to collaboratively drill down to the root cause and take action in a timely manner.

Invariably the dashboard can only be as reliable as the available data, making it necessary that employees collaborate to add color and other operational insights to make the dashboard an effective management tool. The biggest benefit of a collaborative dashboard is that the communications regarding a performance metric can be consolidated and associated with the metric in question and provides a ready contextual reference for all to see. It ensures that the explanations and corrective actions are not walled off in employees' email histories. This approach exposes and naturally documents the underlying issues, actions taken and the ensuing results thereby creating a knowledge repository of the company’s collective intelligence.

Another significant component of the Collaborative Dashboards is the concept of idea management. When a manager sees a metric trending the wrong way, they would collaborate with their team to identify the root causes and then submit ideas to rectify the situation. Ideas can be further discussed, voted on and prioritized for subsequent execution. They can be associated with a particular metric or can be general in nature.
