Aim/Purpose: This paper addresses the lack of a standardized approach to information dashboard design and the absence of integrated Information Governance (IG) principles in this context. Background: This study addresses the critical role of IG principles in ensuring dashboards are reliable, secure, and effective. By integrating IG principles into the work-in-progress Information Dashboard Design Ontology (IDDO), the study aims to enhance the systematic development of dashboards, addressing real-world issues such as data governance failures in Healthcare.gov, security breaches in CRM systems and risk reporting gaps in the JPMorgan Chase "London Whale" incident. Methodology: A narrative literature review (NLR) method was employed to synthesize insights from three established IG models and prior studies. NLR was chosen for its flexibility in exploring emerging topics, such as the integration of IG with dashboard design, where existing literature is scarce. The study acknowledges the limitations of NLR, including potential selection bias, while emphasizing its value in identifying foundational insights and aligning IG principles with dashboard design needs. Contribution: This study bridges the gap between IG and information dashboard design by proposing eight relevant IG principles for integration into the work-in-progress IDDO, providing a novel framework for governance-driven dashboard design. Findings: The study derived eight IG principles aligned with common design principles: Quality, Security, Compliance, Integrity, Availability, Transparency, Accountability, and Effectiveness. Recommendations for Practitioners: Practitioners should incorporate these IG principles into their dashboard design processes to enhance data quality, compliance, user trust, and decision-making support. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should explore the practical application of these IG principles across various organizational contexts and assess their impact on dashboard effectiveness and user experience. Impact on Society: This approach offers a potential solution to data quality, compliance, and user trust issues in enterprise information systems, which could lead to improved organizational decision-making and enhanced end-user experiences. Future Research: Future studies should focus on the practical integration of the identified IG principles into the IDDO framework, including empirical testing and validation in real-world scenarios.
