About this session

Most dashboards are built, not designed

A dashboard fails long before anyone questions the numbers. Too many charts, no clear starting point and colour used as decoration make people export to Excel instead.

This session walks through ten practical tips our design team applies on every build: where the eye lands first, how to group and size content, when to use which chart, and how to use colour to signal rather than decorate.

What you’ll get

What you’ll learn

Four of the ten tips, as a preview. The full recording is free to watch below.

  • Start from the decisionName the question each page answers before you choose a single chart.
  • Lead with the number that mattersPut the headline KPIs where the eye lands first: top left, large and plain.
  • Pick the chart for the comparisonBars for ranking, lines for trends, tables for lookup, and almost never pies.
  • Use colour to signalKeep a neutral base and save strong colour for what needs attention.
