The Harvard Business Review Good Charts Collection by Scott Berinato, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A good visualization can communicate the nature and potential impact of ideas more powerfully than any other form of communication. For a long time, "dataviz" was left to specialists-data scientists and professional designers. No longer. A new generation of tools and massive amounts of available data make it easy for anyone to create visualizations that communicate ideas far more effectively than generic spreadsheet charts ever could. TheHarvard Business Review Good Charts Collectionbrings together two popular books to help you become more sophisticated in understanding and using dataviz to communicate your ideas and advance your career. In Good Charts, dataviz maven and Harvard Business Review editor Scott Berinato provides an essential guide to how visualization works and how to use this new language to impress and persuade. He lays out a system for thinking visually and building better charts through a process of talking, sketching, and prototyping. InGood Charts Workbook, Berinato extends the usefulness ofGood Chartsby putting theory into practice. He leads readers step-by-step through several example datasets and basic charts, providing space to practice theGood Chartstalk-sketch-prototype process for improving those charts. Examples include a "Discussion Key" showing how to approach the challenge and why. Each challenge focuses on a different, common visualization problem such as simplification, storytelling, creating conceptual charts, and many others. TheHarvard Business Review Good Charts Collectionis your go-to resource for turning plain, uninspiring charts that merely present information into smart, effective visualizations that powerfully convey ideas. | The Harvard Business Review Good Charts Collection by Scott Berinato, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
