1-Day Data Visualization Using Google Sheets
In the digital age, organizations are inundated with data, creating an ocean of information yet leaving them stranded in a desert of insight. As analytics becomes increasingly integral to business strategy, the challenge shifts from gathering data to distilling it into meaningful insights.
This deluge of data, if not navigated correctly, can overwhelm even the most seasoned professionals, leaving critical insights buried under layers of complexity. The gap between data collection and actionable information widens, complicating decision-making processes. As David McCandless aptly puts it, “Visualizing information is a form of knowledge compression.” Without the ability to compress and visualize this knowledge, organizations risk being left behind in an era driven by informed decisions.
Recognizing the power of data visualization as a bridge over this gap, our workshop offers a lifeline. In just one day, we provide a comprehensive yet practical exploration of the analytics value chain, with a special emphasis on data visualization's role in crystallizing and communicating insights. Participants will learn how to:
• Extract and compress knowledge from vast, complex datasets.
• Render these insights accessible to a diverse audience, regardless of their comfort with numbers.
• Choose the right data visualizations to match the message.
• Design and implement interactive dashboard reports that bring the data to life.
