Why does visualization matter in business?

With good visuals you can not only understand the answer to the questions you’re asking yourself, but also be pointed toward the questions that you should be asking yourself next.

In today’s podcast Steve discusses his book and why everyone can use data visualizations to not only do their job  better, but faster too.

Topics include:

The four guiding principles for communicating with data.
One rule you should always keep in mind when using bar charts.
When to deploy color in a chart and how many different colors you should use.
How much you should expect one chart to do.
Why you might want to save pie for after dinner.
Why your audience should influence your data visualization efforts.
