Effective visualization can convey ideas and their potential impact more powerfully than any other communication form. Historically, "dataviz" was the realm of specialists like data scientists and designers, but advancements in tools and data availability now empower anyone to create compelling visualizations that surpass generic spreadsheet charts. For managers, mastering chart creation is becoming essential; those who do are gaining visibility and recognition for their contributions to company success. In this essential guide, Scott Berinato explores how visualization works and how to leverage this new language to impress and persuade. Dataviz is poised to revolutionize our work, much like spreadsheets and word processors did in the early 1980s. Berinato presents a system for visual thinking and chart creation through talking, sketching, and prototyping. The book delves into visual perception, neuroscience, and visualization science, explaining why effective charts evoke strong responses. It also features engaging stories from dataviz professionals that illustrate these concepts in action. This guide will transform mundane charts into impactful visualizations that effectively communicate ideas, establishing itself as an essential resource in the evolving language of business.
