Is data analytics in your organization struggling to make an impact on decision making and lead the road for better results? You are not alone. Only 26.5% of responding companies in the 2022 Big Data and AI Executive survey reported themselves as having successfully transformed into data-driven organizations. Over 90% of executives saw the greatest barrier against being data-driven is the organization’s culture and employees’ skills.

The set of skills that is crucial for data-driven transformation lies under the umbrella of data literacy, which 82% of managers expect all employees to have, according to another survey by Forrester. Yet, only 40% of employees say they are provided with the data skills they are expected to have.

One of the main ways of cutting through this data literacy gap and initiating its development within an organization is to implement good data visualization practices. To inform, persuade and engage employees and managers at different levels, nothing is better than transforming cold numbers into well-crafted visuals presented in the proper context.

Implementing good data visualization practices is the main goal of the Certified Data Visualization Professional course of The KPI Institute. 

Course overview

This course will improve communication within your company through visual displays. Through practical applications, you will learn how to communicate visually in an effective way and how to increase reporting efficiency, leading to a better understanding of the presented data, and thus, to smarter and quicker strategic decisions.

• Identify data visualization fundamentals and best practices
