How to Manage Analytics Overload & Build Effective Dashboards (feat. Eva Schreyer)

Data Breakthroughs - Episode 09: When Analytics Becomes a Dashboard Factory

Real-world data problem solving in action! Eva Schreyer (Head of Data & Analytics at Neugelb/Commerzbank) and host Lior Barak tackle a community-submitted challenge about analytics overload for the first time during recording.

Problem Category: Business Intelligence & Dashboarding / Organizational Data StrategyRuntime: 37 minutes

The Challenge: A product team drowns in 40+ charts per report while struggling to make data-driven decisions, creating a disconnect between analytics investment and business value.

The Solution: Transform from dashboard factory to strategic partner through executive alignment, monetizing requests, and prioritizing deep-dive analyses over generic reporting.

Key Takeaways:

Too much data doesn't mean good decisions-relevance matters more than volume

Making stakeholders understand the cost of requests (in time/effort) dramatically improves prioritization

Ask "what will you do differently when this metric changes?" to identify truly actionable insights
