Dashboard Optimization for Maximum User Experience in Business Intelligence Training Course
Introduction
In today’s data-driven organizations, dashboards serve as the central hub for transforming raw data into actionable insights. However, a dashboard is only as effective as its design and usability. Poorly optimized dashboards can overwhelm users, slow down decision-making, and obscure critical information. Optimizing dashboards for user experience ensures that data is not only visually engaging but also intuitive, interactive, and strategically aligned with organizational goals.

Participants will explore principles of design thinking, visualization best practices, interactivity tools, and performance optimization strategies to deliver BI dashboards that drive user adoption, engagement, and confident decision-making.
