I’m always looking for ways to make data more comfortable, particularly for non-data people. Sometimes that means creating simple charts that everyone can understand. Sometimes that means limiting the number of charts presented. And today, I offer up another tip: show your data in a familiar environment. For many of us, paper, file folders, paper clips, and post-it notes are familiar and, dare I say, even comforting.
Give this old-school-meets-new-school data dashboard a spin and see what you think. It shows real-time data in an interactive format. And if you’d like some help creating a similar dashboard for your organization, feel free to contact me.
Let’s talk about YOUR data!
Got the feeling that you and your colleagues would use your data more effectively if you could see it better? Data Viz for Nonprofits (DVN) can help you get the ball rolling with an interactive data dashboard and beautiful charts, maps, and graphs for your next presentation, report, proposal, or webpage. Through a short-term consultation, we can help you to clarify the questions you want to answer and goals you want to track. DVN then visualizes your data to address those questions and track those goals.
