As a performance management professional, dashboards should be important to me. Dashboards contain key performance indicators that are needed to manage the organization.
So I should practice what I preach, right? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Last week I just bought this car, just for fun. It's a 21 year old Citroen 2CV. If you are from Europe, you will certainly know it. Coming from the US, maybe you've seen it before in pictures; Citroen never had a big presence in the US.
Here's a picture of the car.

Would you like to see the dashboard? Here it is...

I guess today you could call it "minimalistic design." But who cares about the dashboard? I get all the experience I need not by looking at the speed, but by feeling the road going underneath me, the wind coming through the open roof, and from the steering wheel in my hands.
