That's right - even beer (or in this case a calendar for the brewing of beer) can be a great candidate to highlight some of the basic principles of data visualisation.

In our Communicating Your Impact workshop we link to a few of our favourite experts, one of whom is Stephanie Evergreen. In this blog she illustrates how concepts like layout, colour choice, and the use of graphics/images can transform something really ugly and hard to read into something that is informative at a glance.

Why do we care?
One of the many ways that we create pathways to impact is through communication.

Hard to read and understand graphs and graphics are like loud noise at a cafe. Distracting and sometimes just make us leave.

Click on the link above to learn more. Stephanie is also really busy on LinkedIn and regularly shares little pearls of wisdom, so if you're active on LinkedIn follow her there too.

I find it fascinating how data visualization can transform complex information into something easily understandable.
