Data Transparency Builds Trust With Your Stakeholders
You can give decision makers a 25,000 cell spreadsheet and expect them to figure out what's going on, or you can give them an easy-to-understand graphic that tells the story. Which would you rather receive?
Make it easy to focus the financial conversation where it belongs, on spending the available funds on the most important opportunities and on raising sufficient funding from a variety of sources.
This example is focused on financial data, but data visualization is essential regardless of the type of data you need to communicate.
Whether you are talking to shareholders, constituents, donors, or your board of directors, data transparency is essential for trust. Well designed graphics are the most effective way to deliver transparency.
