Subject: From business intelligence to design intelligence: visualizing data for the human brain.
Description:
Dashboards keep failing, not because of bad data, but because of poor communication.
We build for systems instead of for the human brain that needs to understand your data. In this session, you’ll learn the 3D framework that determines why some dashboards are immediately successful and others disappear into the digital drawer. And we’ll delve into Data Design: how cognitive psychology, such as pre-attentive processing, visual hierarchy, and mental load, can be used for “design intelligence.” No custom visuals or UX tricks, but strategic design choices.
For BI professionals who are tired of endless revisions and dashboards that not only display data but also communicate it.
