 ersity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=157&proposalid=14535\nDecision-makers ofte
 n ask for “data,” but what they really want is information
  that will help them understand a problem or a condition around the decisio
 ns they need to make. Moving from high volumes of granular business da
 ta (especially transactions) to decision-able information, which an executi
 ve can “steer the ship” by, involves a number of steps of aggre
 gation, normalization, filtering, etc. Most decision-makers appreciate
  a graphic expression of business conditions and activity. \n\nThis wo
 rkshop shows several charting and graphic techniques with attention to whic
 h are appropriate for what kind of analysis. This presentation include
 s a “rogue’s gallery” of really bad (if not misleading) c
 harts which we will analyze and discuss how they can be improved. \n\n
 You will learn:\n\n
 The important difference between categorical and linear dimensions\n
 Which charts are appropriate for what kinds of data\n
 The role of normalization to eliminate other factors\n
 The importance of clarity for fast understanding\n\n
