If you think data visualization is only for CRM or Support desk live metrics, think again.

In the real world, and in the ITIL world, you need Business intelligence and Performance Management to support the management process.

One of my previous CIO’s once quoted, “No one person fails, it’s the process that fails”. As a manager or director, you want to manage and measure your core 3 layers: day to day metrics, operational metrics, and strategic and tactical initiatives.

I wrote about iDashboards’ interactive dashboard demos in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election and the
2008 Beijing Olympic Results Tracking articles.

In the podcast, Shadan Malik, President and Chief Executive Officer of iDashboards gives several good examples on how this can be used and measured. We all know how to collect, store and analyze data; presenting it as meaningful information to make quick timely decisions is another matter.
