Abstract: The rapid evolution of Business Intelligence (BI) has transformed the way organizations analyze data and make decisions. Qlik Sense, a leading self-service BI platform, has emerged as a powerful tool that enables interactive, visually rich, and actionable dashboards across diverse industries. Unlike traditional BI systems, Qlik Sense leverages an associative data model, allowing users to explore complex datasets dynamically and uncover hidden relationships without predefined query constraints. Its robust ETL capabilities, real-time data integration, and support for predictive and prescriptive analytics make it an indispensable platform for modern data-driven enterprises. This review article explores best practices for designing interactive and actionable dashboards in Qlik Sense, emphasizing user-centric design, KPI alignment with organizational objectives, and performance optimization strategies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of storytelling in dashboards to enhance comprehension and facilitate informed decision-making. Case studies from finance, healthcare, and retail illustrate practical applications, demonstrating how Qlik Sense dashboards improve operational efficiency, risk management, and strategic planning. The article also addresses common challenges such as data quality, integration complexity, and user adoption, offering mitigation strategies through governance, training, and continuous improvement. Finally, emerging trends including AI-driven analytics, augmented insights, and mobile-first designs are discussed, underscoring the evolving capabilities of Qlik Sense. By adopting these best practices, organizations can maximize the impact of their BI initiatives, transform data into actionable intelligence, and foster a culture of informed, agile, and proactive decision-making.
