The Big Book of Dashboards
on Amazon
Comprising dozens of examples that address different industries and departments (healthcare, transportation, finance, human resources, marketing, customer service, sports, etc.) and different platforms (print, desktop, tablet, smartphone, and conference room display) The Big Book of Dashboards is the only book that matches great dashboards with real-world business scenarios.
“The Big Book of Dashboards provides a solid treatment of the fundamentals of data visualization, but the numerous examples are what set this book apart. The comments from the authors after each chapter remind the reader that creating influential dashboards is both a science and an art. This book will spend more time on my desk than on my shelf―incredibly practical.”
“Some books about visualization focus on principles and guidelines, but they don’t devote enough pages to explain how to apply them to the design of complex, multi-section displays, like business dashboards. This book is the opposite of that. While the book contains an introduction to data visualization fundamentals, it is the numerous examples of real dashboards that sets it apart. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck when creating a dashboard, you will likely find a solution here.“
“This book is full of beautiful dashboards along with uber-practical advice from three authors with many years of experience. It is a treasure chest for hardcore data-viz geeks and business leaders needing to get smart on how to present data to optimize operations.”
“This book provides you with a vast array of real-world dashboards, and shares the thoughts and considerations that have gone into each example. The authors even provide a full explanation that acts as a user guide. Mix and match these ideas, and you’ll find what you need to visualize your data.“

This is where The Big Picture is different. The Big Picture is for the 99% of business professionals who don’t create data visualizations, but who need to be able to decipher, understand, and see the value of charts and dashboards if they are to survive, let alone thrive, during the never-ending data deluge.

Something that did NOT make it into The Big Book of Dashboards -- @acotgreave desire to have a dashboard embedded "at the time / point of need" within a Slack thread. Looks like it's gonna happen (and it will be a GOOD dashboard... not the thing that Andy... never mind.)
