The dramatic increase in computing power over the past several decades has made the use of images and other aspects of graphic arts far easier than the days when all we had was the printing press.
In particular, the variety of ways in which data can be shared visually has increased exponentially. That “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never had more meaning.
Vistage Member Les Landes recently shared with me a fantastic website, “Visual Literacy,” that “focuses on a critical, but often neglected skill for managers, communication experts, and analytics professionals, namely visual literacy, or the ability to evaluate, apply, or create graphic representations of data, information and knowledge.”
Inshort, it helps you pick the most effective way to present and share data.
There are amazing resources on this site, but start with the one that Mr. Landes shared with me: Periodic Table of Visualization Methods will help you pick the most effective way to visually tell a compelling story.
Check out Mr. Landes’ site as well for some great resources on employee engagement and continuous improvement.
