PRODUCING EFFECTIVE DATA VISUALISATION TO AID KEY DECISION MAKING
Online
OVERVIEW
Clear, engaging, visual communication of complex data, has been scientifically
proven to enable improved and faster understanding of information (compared to
tabular or poor data visualisation). However, designing effective data
visualisations, appropriate to the data being used and the decision needed, is
an art as well as a science. Before using any data visualisation software,
design principles and practice are needed.
This course is designed to help analysts understand those design principles and
learn how to approach effective data visualisation design. Learning from
academic and commercial experts in the emerging field of data visualisation, as
well as practical group work to apply skills using specific data.
This isn’t about changing analysts into artists, although principles from
aesthetics and science will be shared with delegates. Rather this course
empowers analysts with a workflow, and design principles, to select and
customise appropriate charts (or interactive data visualisations), for the
business decision needed.
The day includes plenty of interactive exercises. There is opportunity to apply
theory to real data and improving poor data visualisations. Scientific evidence,
for most effective options, is mixed with commercial experience in charts that
work.
Objectives:
* How to produce an effective data visualisation
* Spotting problems with ineffective charts and labelling
* Understanding the data types that are your raw material
* How to select an appropriate chart type to use
* Learn data visualisation encoding
* Use data viz design principles to critique your work in progress
* How a consistent workflow improves your output
* The role of editorial thinking
* Practice designing appropriate data visualisations
* Extra considerations when using maps
* What to think about when using colour
Training Outcomes:
* A template workflow to guide your design work
* Visual Summary to help you select a chart type
* Online tools to help your colour selections
* A step-by-step guide to decluttering a chart
* Over 20 chart types explained
* Overview of data visualisation software market
* Learn principles to refine your designs
* How to ensure ethical representation of data
* Recommended CPD resource for continued learning
A really excellent course, pitched at the right level for practitioners and
covering a really wide range of data visualisation choices – but beyond this, I
really welcomed being challenged to think about the data more in terms of
exactly what it is that I need my audience to understand and take away from it.
I will certainly be using several of the techniques that were spoken about. And
lastly, the trainer was great – excellent pace, excellent delivery and a great
facilitator. Highly recommend! – Durham Constabulary
This was a very useful course which highlighted the vast range of visualisation
available and how best they are used, it had interactive elements which put into
practice what we were learning and Paul was very informative and accommodating
with all questions from the participants. – HMLR
An excellent course, with a knowledgeable trainer. – Hampshire County Council
