BUS610: Business Intelligence and Analytics

Data can be daunting, especially big data, with dense sets of numbers that can swim before our eyes when we try to use raw data to look for patterns or anomalies. When we add visualization, we can easily tell the story of data so that even a child can understand it. Take note of the speaker's point about proportion. We must be careful about how we set our programs to visualize data. The kind of data we visualize and how we structure and organize it will have vastly different findings. How have you created or used data visualization in your work or studies? Have you been sure to look deeply into the numbers presented to be sure you are showing an accurate picture of what needs to be expressed? Have you ever experienced "the dataset changing your mindset?"
