Decision intelligence vs dashboards
Dashboards inform; decisions require context
Dashboards are useful for monitoring KPIs. Decision intelligence adds the context needed to investigate causes, evaluate options and act.
A decision workflow
Define the question, identify the relevant signals, trace the drivers, compare options, choose an action and measure the outcome. This turns analytics into a repeatable management process.
When to use each
Use dashboards for monitoring and decision intelligence for high-value questions where the business needs explanation, prioritization, trade-offs or follow-through.
