Beyond the Dashboard
Leadership. Human Judgement. Technology. Decision-Making.
Beyond the Dashboard is a work of leadership fiction exploring what happens when human judgement meets increasingly powerful systems, data and technology.
Through the experiences and decisions of its characters, the story looks beyond metrics and reporting to the conversations, relationships, uncertainty and consequences that cannot always be captured on a dashboard.
At its centre is a simple question:
As organisations become increasingly informed by technology, where does human judgement still matter most?
