Klipfolio provides a good example of operational dashboards and the importance of constantly being in contact with essential metrics to increase overall visibility into performance. At the same time, it is important to remember that not all companies require operational dashboards or constant updates to information. Depending on the type of business problems being faced, and depending upon the overall goals and usage of dashboards, different options exist. It’s always important to remember that picking the right type of dashboard extends beyond features and functions towards business goal alignment and data visibility.
