SSAS/SSRS : Building a dashboard

Currently reading "Information dashboard design" of Stephen Few. A book i can highly recommend to you when you are interested in hands on advice, best practices about building dashboards. We all know the dashboardhype: everybody wants a dashboard. Dashboards are sexy. Building a good dashboard is about giving the users a unique and powerful means to presenting information, but they rarely fullfill their promisses. Too bad, because building a dashboard according to the usability rules can greatly enhance insights. During my study i became interested in building applications according to the usability laws that were researched by Don Norman, for instance. One book of him, that is very easy to read and give you great insights of the (bad) design of everyday things, is his famous book : The Design of Everyday Things. In this book he explains some bad examples and some good examples of design of normal things that surrounds us. Great book and when your designing dashboards it could give you some background information.
