While one might say there are over a million and one types of dashboards depending on the content, design, etc., they fall under three categories.\r\n\r\nRead on to find out the three categories of business dashboards and learn which is right for your business.\r\n\r\nWithout further ado, let\u2019s dive in.\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#What_Is_A_Dashboard_In_Business\" title=\"What Is A Dashboard In Business?\">What Is A Dashboard In Business?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Why_Are_BI_Dashboards_Important_To_Businesses\" title=\"Why Are BI Dashboards Important To Businesses?\">Why Are BI Dashboards Important To Businesses?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Types_Of_Dashboards\" title=\"Types Of Dashboards\">Types Of Dashboards<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Strategic_Dashboard\" title=\"Strategic Dashboard\">Strategic Dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Operational_Dashboard\" title=\"Operational Dashboard\">Operational Dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Analytical_Dashboard\" title=\"Analytical Dashboard\">Analytical Dashboard<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Tactical_Dashboard\" title=\"Tactical Dashboard\">Tactical Dashboard<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/types-of-dashboards-which-one-right-for-your-business\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_A_Dashboard_In_Business\"><\/span>What Is A Dashboard In Business?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nA business dashboard, also known as business intelligence (BI) dashboard, is a single-view representation of key business data points, metrics, and KPIs. Successful organizations leverage dashboards to display useful data points, depending on their goals, and keep track of their performance. These organizations often record increased business process efficiency and positive growth markers.\r\n\r\nThis all makes sense. If you\u2019re actively measuring and monitoring metrics, as business dashboards empower you to, you\u2019re actively aware of your performance. This puts you in the perfect position to affect those metrics positively.\r\n\r\nDashboards are data visualization tools with applications in different industries. For example, healthcare, HR, marketing, sales, logistics, or IT, are implementing different types of business dashboards to improve productivity. So, regardless of your industry, if you aim to improve performance and stay relevant in your market, you must effectively utilize data. Business dashboards empower you with the means to do so.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_BI_Dashboards_Important_To_Businesses\"><\/span>Why Are BI Dashboards Important To Businesses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nMaking data-driven decisions is essential to remain competitive in any market. BI dashboards make it easy to measure and track key metrics in real time. This, in turn, empowers stakeholders and decision-makers with the ability to gain actionable business insights across different departments \u2014for example;\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Customer demographics<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sales KPIs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Inventory management<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fluctuations in financial markets<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Performance forecasting.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIn other words, businesses can leverage dashboards to monitor team data in a single view. This simplifies and informs the decision-making process and improves overall business performance.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/12-helpful-tips-for-creating-business-dashboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Tips for creating business dashboards<\/u><\/a>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Dashboards\"><\/span>Types Of Dashboards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhile dashboards are great, their specific performance is only as good as their implementation. A big part of business dashboard success lies in the dashboard type. Therefore, choosing the appropriate dashboard type based on your business needs is crucial. Let\u2019s see the different types of dashboards and what needs they satisfy.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Dashboard\"><\/span>Strategic Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nA strategic dashboard is a high-level overview of long-term business performance. This dashboard type tracks data across all departments and can get complex. Senior management and executive team use strategic dashboards to inform long-term decision-making. Therefore, unlike other dashboard types, as we\u2019ll see later on, strategic dashboards update less frequently.\r\n\r\nIf you aim to inform day-to-day decision-making, strategic BI dashboards are not great options. However, long term, having a bird&#8217;s eye view of overall business performance across every department is great for long-term success. Examples of types of data included in a strategic dashboard include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Yearly or monthly revenue<\/li>\r\n \t<li>New and returning customer data<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Cost per customer<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nLet\u2019s look at a strategic dashboard example.\r\n<h4>Management Strategic Dashboard<\/h4>\r\nThe image below is a sales management dashboard \u2014-a good example of strategic dashboards. It contains only relevant sales data and summarizes the company\u2019s sales performance story. The dashboard focuses on product performance and revenue. It is set to periodically update after specific timeframes, showing KPIs such as Average shipping time, product category by inventory, customer satisfaction, and cost of goods sold.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/WztmckOlwcDJKgKjPpop56RLYYA-ZJrdNU8Ro-8MvXbbbtuFUQO-szaz823OFtOx9RzCSgSu3DxK55EwkDP6C7DWKcuUMoHIeeZ0NgXwdhfcNiLrgkcdB-w3zzdGRE5pEsbfRPdDiljIrSUExl0hN1lnTzPJPgBRxAw-8hLM10kiAnbXIu_2GKTXgg\" alt=\"Strategic dashboard example\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe example above provides answers to questions like:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>What is my revenue compared to this time last year?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>How well do different products perform in different countries and cities?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Which country produces the most revenue compared to the previous year?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operational_Dashboard\"><\/span>Operational Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nWhile strategic dashboards give a long-term view of the bigger picture, operational dashboards measure and track individual short-term operations, for example, marketing campaigns. This dashboard type provides real-time data. As a result, it is a great option for keeping track of day-to-day activities.\r\n\r\nIn today&#8217;s fast-paced world, the importance of this dashboard type cannot be overstated. Junior-level managers can leverage operational dashboards to gain insight into the performance of sub-tasks of campaigns. Examples of data types you\u2019ll find in an operational dashboard include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Number of landing page visits<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Number of conversions from landing page visitors<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Conversions from a specific ad campaign.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nBelow\u2019s an operational dashboard example:\r\n<h4>Marketing Operational Dashboard<\/h4>\r\nThe marketing dashboard below is a great example of an operational dashboard. It shows the performance of a marketing campaign over the last month. It contains important metrics and KPIs such as:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Leads<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Traffic<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Conversion by traffic source<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Revenue<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/enpN2rpq8HU4rR_xKKgiFOB1YsVUrUOGvxMyjrEJF2i1wCOAey1SH4Hfkg_zfF-o0CETp3AcOQK7QdXFJfAxRoY-1QMfEQoQm559BU99JgefVKbFLssLyljiRDOv403lbYsPBZ7H3pQtAa59ZwYvuEAai35KF2qX-mpVnm8SlioAyGSuix7yJUO8ig\" alt=\"Types of dashboards: operational dashboard example\" \/>\r\n\r\nOverall this dashboard allows us to assess the real-time performance of the overall campaign. This way, we can identify areas that need optimization. This is particularly useful for marketing departments that run multiple campaigns. You can track real-time data of all campaigns in a single view using operational dashboards.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Analytical_Dashboard\"><\/span>Analytical Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nUnlike strategic and operational dashboards, analytical dashboards contain vast data. Therefore, it requires the services of data analysts to retrieve valuable insights. Generally, executives use this dashboard type for extra analytical support. An analyst infers granular data values from an analytical dashboard. Then creates a report, which senior executives can use to inform decision-making.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s look at an example:\r\n<h4>Healthcare Analytical Dashboard For Patients<\/h4>\r\nThe below example shows a pediatric center dashboard. It aims to track the number of admissions for different categories. Data included in this dashboard include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Total admissions<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Admission by age<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Admission by the level of emergency<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Admission per date for different categories.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/vNyWOVj4Y3xnu9fXUrl4rJWcEH_QALalT-x4wifFdGYdR0s_j02qfgJ5mHePgrKTkUl52BQgTHRckQyxdE9pGPW-cZ3EeYBMmJAxfFklEvZsLYC69Ox09uhikNCGcpTBpYWv9V3zpUrI9topxRhzg64WsA460eXHLvyWTGAIrHM6hTibJLoAhF4Vvw\" alt=\"Types of dashboards: Analytical dashboard example\" \/>\r\n\r\nTip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/five-ways-to-build-sales-analytics-dashboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>how to build analytical dashboards<\/u><\/a>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tactical_Dashboard\"><\/span>Tactical Dashboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nLike analytical dashboards, tactical dashboards can contain loads of data, depending on the use case. It is used to analyze the performance of metrics that directly affect business and\/or departmental goals. Tactical dashboards are common in technology teams. Here\u2019s an example.\r\n<h4>Energy Management Tactical dashboard<\/h4>\r\nThis dashboard provides an overview of energy operations: from active appliances, energy intensity, and carbon footprint to predicted cost and real-time cost changes.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/_hHc00ykKzEiuoRXphOPLB1AriJInzBiFaqvFfyBDbsuYK13yPAqiY4sQfXqWWYCsc_Nhn72kE46cGK_P3HnoUn5xjMb7h1uelN-_olj7K-Pe3WZmjrwB7WHpPItDQYD9Fkggv3hCktCQUTuixcYt1uEH7bOLQpOdQHEXAwXgfCHP8nNrDxLcwPUhw\" alt=\"Tactical dashboard example\" \/>\r\n\r\nTip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-to-get-more-results-out-of-your-dashboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Get more results from your dashboards<\/u><\/a>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nIt is always best to get off with the right strategy using dashboard design best practices. This will ensure you include only important business data that match your dashboard goals.\r\n\r\nThe two most important points to consider when implementing a business dashboard are:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Data puking: representing loads of data without providing any useful insight. Avoid data puking at all costs. It defeats the purpose of a business dashboard.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Choice of dashboard type: the dashboard type you use significantly impacts what data you track and the purpose for which you\u2019re tracking.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe aim is to use dashboard types that help you achieve your business goals.
