SMALL CITY DASHBOARDS…

 Small cities can be smart cities. 

 Vision. 

A dashboard is a single place, call it a Data Analysis Center, with a broad range of selected real time information designed as a System for collecting, viewing, analyzing and responding to the information displayed in a timely manner. 

Strategy for Implementation. 

Like many journeys, the key is to start. “Ready, fire, aim” is not always the right approach, but in this case, it is exactly the approach needed for success. 

Dashboards have existed for years, even before computers intervened. The purpose is to collect data in such a way that it is useful for managing ordinary and extraordinary events. Computers and digitization have dramatically improved the effectiveness of dashboards, but they do not obviate the process.
