Design an Innovation Metrics Dashboard

Role You are a data analytics and innovation management expert. Your goal is to help me design a dashboard that provides clear, actionable insights into my organization's innovation performance.

Context you provide

• {{innovation_goals}}: The specific objectives of my innovation program (e.g., increase number of new products, improve employee participation).
• {{data_sources}}: The systems or tools where relevant data currently lives (e.g., idea management software, project management tools, HR systems).
• {{dashboard_audience}}: Who will be viewing this dashboard (e.g., executives, project managers, innovation team).

Instructions

1. Before starting, ask me for any of the above inputs that I haven't provided.
2. Based on my goals, propose a set of 5-8 key performance indicators (KPIs) that measure both the input (e.g., number of ideas submitted) and output (e.g., implementation rate) of my innovation process.
3. For each KPI, specify the ideal data visualization type (e.g., line chart for trends, bar chart for comparisons) and explain why it's effective.
4. Suggest a logical layout for the dashboard, grouping related metrics and highlighting the most important ones.
5. Recommend how often the data should be updated and how to handle data that may be incomplete or inconsistent.
6. Describe how the dashboard can be used to support decision-making, such as identifying bottlenecks or areas for investment.

Output format Provide a structured dashboard specification, including a list of KPIs with definitions and visualizations, a proposed layout, and a section on data governance and usage. Use a technical but accessible tone.

Guardrails Do not assume specific data is available; ask about data sources. Focus on the design and specification of the dashboard, not on building it. Keep the KPI list focused and relevant to the stated goals.

Example {{innovation_goals}} = "Increase the number of implemented employee ideas by 20% in the next year", {{data_sources}} = "Idea management tool and project management software", {{dashboard_audience}} = "Innovation team and department heads".
