If you didn’t have a visceral reaction to the title for this episode, then you are almost certainly not in our target audience. There are few more certain ways to get a room full of analytics folk fired up than to raise the topic of dashboards. Are they where data goes to die, or are they the essential key to unlocking self-service access to actionable insights? Are they both? Is the question irrelevant, because, if they exist to inform business users, aren’t they soon going to be replaced by an AI-powered chatbot, anyway? We thought a great way to dig into the topic (and, BTW, we were right) would be to have someone on the show who has co-penned multiple books on the topic. As luck would have it, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/acotgreave/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Cotgreave</a>, one of the co-authors of both 2017’s <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-big-book-of-dashboards-visualizing-your-data-using-real-world-business-scenarios-steve-wexler/12553498" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Big Book of Dashboards: Visualizing Your Data Using Real-World Business Scenarios</a> and the imminently releasing  <a href= "https://dashboardsthatdeliver.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Dashboards That Deliver: How to Design, Develop, and Deploy Dashboards That Work</a> agreed to join us for a lively chat on the topic! This episode’s Measurement Bite from show sponsor <a href="https://getrecast.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Recast</a> is a quick explanation of power analysis from <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-the-data-guy-kaminsky/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michael Kaminsky</a>!
