Data Visualizations Could Be the Difference Between Your Data Insights Getting Heard or Ignored

Data Chats

“What really helps is if you just have one main goal for the [data] project. Know who your audience is and what your success criteria is. That’s really going to put you head and shoulders ahead of everybody else, and it’s going to make the project so painless. And then I can just dive into the insights and be showing you a lot of cool ideas.”

-Alli Torban

In the world of data analysis, the ability to effectively communicate your insights to stakeholders can be the difference between your ideas being heard or being ignored. Fortunately, there’s a powerful tool that can help: data visualizations.
