Insight Builder

Building-operations teams were drowning in telemetry, asset, and service data with no governed way to turn any of it into a dashboard people could trust. I designed Insight Builder as one authoring workbench on Honeywell Forge: connect a source, configure a widget, compose the canvas, publish with real validation, then act straight from the viewer.The old dashboard applet was a mess: engineers babysitting every chart, duplicate dashboards everywhere, zero governance. I gave Honeywell Forge one workbench instead. Connect, configure, compose, publish, act. No more begging an engineer for a chart.

The case study

The thinking, end to end

The full narrative: the fragmented-authoring problem, six operator and analyst personas, the competitive landscape, the Data → Widget → Dashboard → Publish → Act mental model, all 34 screens, and the governance model that keeps dashboards trustworthy at portfolio scale.
