Mauro Cardarelli, Managing Partner at Jornata, writes an Office Zealot blog on Information Worker Solutions Using Microsoft Technologies. He focuses a lot on Sharepoint and tells me Sharepoint has gotten much better over the past few years, especially as a knowledge management solution. This is something I want to learn more about. He recently spoke at Sharepoint Connections in Orlando and shared his slides in this post, including Building Business Intelligence Solutions with SharePoint. There was another post with a white paper on Using SharePoint Portal Server in a Geographically Dispersed Organization.
Mauro’s post on a Great Resource for Designing Performance Dashboards links to the blog, the Dashboardspy that has a lot of dashboard designs. The April 10 post covered an enterprise dashboard from a Balanced Scorecard perspective. This was something I used to do in a former life. The post gave me major deja vue as it said the dashboard is “divided into the 4 sections of Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning & Growth. These 4 portlets have the KPI name, numeric value and the red/green/yellow state. The rest of this dashboard has sales info, a project graphs, alerts and quick links to things like the strategy map.” We did ths stuff at a P&C insurance firm and a major utility when I was at Renaissance Strategy Group in the early 90s. I may have the slides somewhere. I think it is still useful.
I am looking forward to reading more from Mauro’s blog and the Dashboard Spy. Here is one more good one, So You Want to Be a DashBoard/Scorecard Designer? He summaries the characteristics of good and bad dashboards in this post.
