In Cognos 8v3 and beyond, tabbed dashboard is an option.  As ar as organizing goes, it really depends on the needs of the business.  You can change the design by customizing a new skin with different CSS for the tabs.

You can customize the skin for Cognos in the Install location/webcontent/skins folder.  There is a css file and an images folder in the Shared Folder for each skin that will cover most of what you would want to customize.  I recommend starting with a default theme, but backing it up first by copying and pasting it's folder.  That way you won't have to update the system.xml file to include your new theme.
Best,
