The companies that invest in improving their visual communication will gain a competitive advantage, seeing threats and finding opportunities others don't. For individuals like you, building good charts is a need-to-have skill. If you're not doing it, other managers are, and they're getting noticed for it and getting credit for contributing to your company's success. In this updated and expanded edition of Good Charts, dataviz maven Scott Berinato provides the essential guide to how visualization works and how to use this new language to impress and persuade. Berinato lays out a system for thinking visually and building better charts through a process of talking, sketching, and prototyping. From tips and tricks for upping your visualization's clarity to laying out a system for storytelling with data, Good Charts covers all the core skills you need and can develop. This new edition includes added visuals and updates the landscape of visualization tools. It also includes new chapters on building dataviz teams and creating workflows to integrate visualization into everything you do.

The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory, but made accessible through numerous real-world examples--ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation. Storytelling is not an inherent skill, especially when it comes to data visualization, and the tools at our disposal don't make it any easier. This book demonstrates how to go beyond conventional tools to reach the root of your data, and how to use your data to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Specifically, you'll learn how to: understand the importance of context and audience; determine the appropriate type of graph for your situation; recognize and eliminate the clutter clouding your information; direct your audience's attention to the most important parts of your data; think like a designer and utilize concepts of design in data visualization; [and] leverage the power of storytelling to help your message resonate with your audience."--Publisher's description.
