Visual Strategy: Present Your Data With Impact
Data visualizations are powerful tools that can capture and convey a message visually to ensure that your audience understands your meaning; however, finance professionals often fall into common traps: over-complicated visuals, lack of a clear message, and poor design choices. You can do better. Guided by a set of design principles, you can enhance your communication, present with confidence and create visuals that leave a lasting impact. While this session leans heavily on Excel spreadsheet examples, these tactics can also apply to all the tools in the finance toolkit.
