Dashboard Designs People Love – A Refresher
From Juice Analytics:
Using proper dashboard design techniques is a topic that struck a chord when we released our white paper series “A Guide to Creating Dashboards People Love to Use” a few years ago, and still seems to resonate as people regularly download the content from the Juice Analytics website, and we receive ongoing requests to speak around these key principles.
Since we can all use a little calibration every once in a while to stay in tune, we thought we’d post it again, with a reminder that you can access this oldie but goody, along with other materials on the Juice Analytics resources page anytime — and that all of these materials are available to you gratis.
Other resources you will find at Juice Analytics:

The nearly fifty page “Guide” is worth registering for future updates.
I don’t know if your topic map application will have an interface that “presents as” a dashboard, but if it does, these resources are a good start towards a good one.
Not to mention that most design lessons are generally applicable to all interface design.
(I would say something about interfaces or websites where design challenged CEOs/COOs were allowed input or approval but that would be adding insult to injury wouldn’t it?)
