Pro tips
- Create a “data dictionary” alongside your visualizations that explains each metric and calculation method to ensure consistent understanding across teams.
- Schedule regular “insights sessions” rather than report reviews, focusing the discussion on decisions to be made rather than just data presentation.
- Build progressive disclosure into your dashboards – allow users to see headline metrics first, then drill down for details only when needed.
- Use consistent comparison benchmarks (like previous period, forecast, or industry averages) across all metrics to provide proper context for every number.
