Interrogating the dashboard: data, indicators and decision-making
This project investigates the use, function and design of dashboard screen interfaces across government, civil society and everyday life. Nathaniel Tkacz, assistant professor in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick, said that the motivation for the project came at the end of 2012.
“David Cameron tested a new ‘No 10 Dashboard’ on his iPad,” he said. “This type of interface – individualised, portable, with dynamic content – seemed highly suggestive as to the transformative role of technology in governance and decision-making. We started tracking and documenting the types and uses of dashboards and found they were being used in most large organisations. However, studies of interfaces were few and limited to specific fields.”
The team hopes to discover how they transform decision-making practices: “We will also consider how dashboards can be incorporated into research methods and outputs in the social sciences and humanities.”
