Over the years, I\u2019ve talked with many customers about various methods to improve the impact of their data. Oftentimes, organizations are faced with a wealth of data but no way to accurately communicate or visualize that information. They want to analyze and present data in ways that are easily digestible and understandable but are not equipped with the right technology to do so. This is where thoughtful report design with the right tools comes into play to effectively visualize data, aiding in impactful analysis.<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019ll be presenting ways to be more impactful with your report design, presenting visualization styling ideas and encouraging iterations with the intended audience (both of which are possible when using the right solution).<\/p>\n

To quote Edward R. Tufte, a statistician and famous visualization specialist, in his book, Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we reason about quantitative evidence, certain methods are more likely to produce truthful, credible, and precise findings. The difference between an excellent analysis and a faulty one can sometimes have momentous consequences.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The point I take away from his statement is that it\u2019s not just the content or data alone that influences, persuades, or convinces someone to act. It\u2019s also the manner in which that data is presented<\/em> which makes a connection with your audience.<\/p>\n
