Dashboard Screenshots published on March 03, 2006.
Here is an example of a government management dashboard. Specifically, it concentrates on the scorecarding effort for defense spending in Canada.
The Canadian Government weighs in with this business scorecard located at http://www.vcds.forces.gc.ca/dgsp/pubs/dp_m/pm/Intro_e.asp
It tracks defense operations, program resources, internal processes and the performance of the defense team.
Dashboard Type: This enterprise dashboard would go under the main category of Process/Activity Dashboard and sub-category of National/Regional Security Monitoring Dashboard if we follow the dashboard classification system used in the book, Enterprise Dashboards: Design and Best Practices for IT. As stated by the author, Malik, there are six major categories of enterprise dashboards, with each having varying numbers of sub-categories. The main categories are: Enterprise Performance Dashboards, Divisional Dashboards, Process/Activity Monitoring Dashboards, Custom Applications Dashboards, Customer Dashboards and Vendor Dashboards.
So what or who is The Dashboard Spy? As his about page states, The Dashboard Spy is just a guy interested in the design of enterprise dashboards. He could not find any executive dashboard design source books (or even screenshots of real business dashboards) and so set about creating his own. Finally convinced to post his extensive collection of dashboard screenshots online, he was amazed to find how popular it has become. If you have a nice screenshot of a digital dashboard, balanced scorecard, or any business intelligence graphic to share, please send an email to info _at_ dashboardspy.com. Also check out The Dashboard Spy's favorite books.
