Data Visualization Channel

Data Visualization refers to the means by which analysts and business users summarily or chronologically translate the outcomes of commerce through graphic representations. Today, sophisticated displays and semantic visual languages mean that data can be translated cerebrally to reveal insights that were not available before. Data visualization tools can provide quick, reductive and summary views of multiple data sets that are useful in dashboards and other presentations. However, sophisticated presentations are no insurance that what is being viewed is seen in its truest and most useful context. Three-dimensional, heat maps and other views are now built into everyday applications and can provide new insight or distort data. Therefore producers and consumers of information must develop visual skills commensurate with their literacy skills. We’ve heard some call it graphicacy, the new executive literacy for understanding the true meaning behind graphical presentations.
