Honestly having dashboards is just a good idea in general, impressing execs aside.

Graphs are a really really good way of getting an accurate gut feeling about what's going on. Take GME for example, what happened? Before you start talking about a short squeeze just get a graph of the share price out.

If I dump a CSV file in your inbox pre-coffee or whatever, you might blank, but if we have a graph of "Profit per widget" on the wall (metaphorical or literal) it's obvious if something's just broken.
