A dashboard is a collection of charts and analyses. Executive dashboards play a significant role in business intelligence. They provide vital information at a glance and a deeper understanding of an organization’s current situation. Dashboards are used as a point in time, a high-level view of a business or organization.
In this scenario, you will continue to work as a consultant trainee with the TC Ice Cream management team. The team has requested that you create a dashboard so leadership can effectively and efficiently have key insights about their sales revenue. Remember that TC Ice Cream is interested in whether specific trends are identified that can help grow its business through improved operations and sales. You are required to identify three key charts and a regression for presenting your analysis. The dashboard should depict clear insights from your analysis and findings.
