I think you can visit QlikView website's demo apps (Qlik Demos: See QlikView in Action | Demo.Qlik.Com). There are a bunch of dashboards capturing a lot of KPIs for different types of domains or industries. I'm sure you may find visualization related good guidance from those dashboards.

As I understood, you are asking a more general request, how to design a dashboard (i.e. more focused on general design than technical).

There are lots of sources that covers this, some are mentioned here:

Dashboards are most beautiful when you remove all unnecessary objects and decorations. Make it all about the data, not about colors, shadows, gradients, pie-charts. Less "fancy" means more attention to the actual data, which makes it beautiful.

I would highly recommend "Information Dashboard Design" by Stephen Few. Information Dashboard Design: Displaying Data for At-a-Glance Monitoring: Stephen Few: 9781938377006...

And take a look at his website: Perceptual Edge
