What you describe in the Action Dashboards post is a far cry from the dashboard you show in this item. And a LOT more work.

Maybe I have the wrong idea about what an insight is. "Overall traffic went down mostly because we lowered our PPC spending" - is that an insight? Seems like that's about all you can get out of a ten-metric sheet. I'm baffled by the idea of any "insights" coming out of a one-page report that has ten metrics.

I believe a dashboard should be fully automated and therefore a section which needs to be writen in to add insight works against this. The data in a dashboard will be correct actual data, insight can be very subjective and sometimes wrong, i think a dashboard should contain only correct objective data with no spin. Also the audience should be aware of what to look for and understand the context of the data, if you need to spoon feed insight to senior executives then something is wrong.
