A controller method should handle one request at a time, so maybe you need to create a dashboard controller. That controller can call any number of other models' methods and collate the data together before rendering one view. A completely other approach would be to render these individual methods as Ajax requests, and compose the resulting page with JavaScript. That's going to mean N-times as many requests to your server. You could do the same with iframes, too, for an even lower-tech approach with the same problem.
