The record number of project starts at Klipfolio since the beginning of the year has got us wondering – is the increased activity despite the economy, or because of it?
A couple of recent articles suggest it might be the latter: In "4 Reasons You'd Better Have a Desktop Dashboard in a Bear Market," I argue that the current economic situation will increase demand for dashboards. And in "Certain IT Skills in Demand Despite Economy," Chris Kanarcus predicts that workers with BI skills will prosper in an otherwise weak IT market.
In keeping with this positive theme, this month Lyndsay Wise focuses on how to invest in BI during a downtown. And Hubert Lee provides a handy tool for evaluating the likely return from an investment in dashboards.
You might be surprised by some of the results of our survey on how employees access business-critical information.
And, whether you're evaluating or implementing Klipfolio, or you just want to better understand, you'll want to download the new "Klipfolio Dashboard Architecture and Planning Overview."
I hope you enjoy this issue of Scoreboard. If you have a comment, or you want to contribute to a future edition, let us know. We'd love to hear from you.
