Course Introduction

Nearly every organisation bases its key decisions on sound data. This data may have been generated from the past reports or may comprise future projections. The data initially collected is just a bunch of numbers and statistics. It bears no meaning to managers until it is converted into suitable information. Data visualization allows the conversion of this information into a pictorial representation which is much easier to understand and read. These visual representations might be in the form of graphs, charts, maps, videos, dashboards, or any type of visual format. This enables rapid identifying of trends and patterns present in the data that would otherwise have been difficult to recognize and understand.

Why is data visualization  important?

The human brain can comprehend a visual data set much easier than rows and rows on a spreadsheet. Since data has become such an integral part of strategic decision-making for any organisation, data visualization  has spiraled to every sphere where data is utilized.

How can Data Visualization be made good? How to position the data, use the color scheme and other techniques to enhance the readability of the data? How to achieve data cleansing for data better visualization ? What are different tools available for data visualization ? Which tool will be suitable for which data set? Data visualization  is not merely the plotting of charts and tables but requires acute preparation beforehand in the form of these questions. Data visualization  is a subtle science and art. It requires comprehension of raw data and apt application of visual tools meticulously enough to draw valuable insights from the dataset.

Training has brought a sought-after Data Visualization  course that elaborates both the science and art part of data visualization . Numerous available tools have been discussed in detail along with their application, pros, and cons. Professionals from all fields experience the vital need of presenting their data in a convenient form to prolifically state their points and derive enhanced understanding from it. This course is mindful of this requirement and therefore discusses important features, techniques, and concepts related to data visualization  in the most beneficial manner.


Course objective

  • Enable the development of visual mediums which will help data analysts to interpret the key points promptly
  • Encourage faster decision making through a better understanding of visuals
