GovInsider interviewed an expert to find three key steps that officials should always follow when looking to convert their data into easy-to-grasp visualisations. They then teamed up with Tableau to create a simple guide to help users create visualizations-- even if they aren't trained data scientists. Once you can create effective visualizations, sharing information and communicating complex data becomes easier.
Governments can “create interactive data stories for people like you and me who don’t have a degree in data science, but still want to know what’s going on,” said Ben Jones, Director of Outreach Programmes at Tableau.
Learn to create clear and effective data visualizations
This guide will help officials create clear, crisp and most importantly, accurate visualisations and stories. When done right, these are powerful tools to get people to ask new questions or understand complex issues. GovInsider and Tableau have created a guide for government officials to use data and visualisations to clearly communicate with citizens and colleagues.
