Data Visualisation & Communication

Information is worthless unless it can be communicated in ways people can understand and act upon. Much of the data presentation we see today is based more on the presenters technical ability in using available technology than on any principles of good data design and presentation. Edward Tufte at Yale, a leading thinker on visual display (of data) systems calls it 'chartjunk'.

There is no point in undertaking great analyses if you can't communicate the results.
