Step 5: Visualize & Report
Design intuitive dashboards and establish reporting cadences that drive stakeholder action.
User-Centered Dashboard Design
Core Principle: Dashboards should answer business questions immediately, without requiring analysis or interpretation from users.
Executive View (Mayor's Office)
- • Single number: "Net new businesses this month"
- • Trend: "Are we growing faster than last year?"
- • Geographic: "Which areas need attention?"
- • Context: "How does this compare to peer cities?"
Operational View (Economic Development)
- • Daily activity: "What happened yesterday?"
- • Pipeline health: "Business application trends"
- • Risk indicators: "Areas showing decline"
- • Action items: "Neighborhoods needing intervention"
