Dashboards are everywhere yet decisions often lag behind. The real challenge isn’t generating insights – it is communicating them in ways that prompt understanding and drive action. This session explores how to transform analytics into compelling decision-ready experiences using storytelling in SAS Visual Analytics, custom visuals built with JavaScript and Plotly, and embedded interactivity with conversational interfaces. Attendees will discover how intuitive design, guided narratives, and compelling interfaces help users not just see the data but understand it, trust it, and act on it. Through real-world client use cases, we will demonstrate how effective communication turns data into better decisions, and how SAS Viya empowers you to build that bridge.
Most organizations have no shortage of dashboards—just a shortage of decisions driven by them. In this engaging talk, Amalia Missers reveals why dashboards fail (overload, lack of business context, poor usability, and isolation from workflows) and what it takes to turn insights into action. Through vivid examples like the “Christmas tree dashboard,” she shows how storytelling, smart design, and tailored visuals can transform confusion into clarity. Stick around to discover how SAS Viya—and a few powerful design principles—can bridge the gap and make your data truly matter.
