Four Steps to Achieve Successful Data Visualization

Updated: Aug 16, 2021

Achieving accurate data visualization can make complex analysis more useful. Otherwise, data visualization may distort the analysis result and confuse the actual research statistic. Today we are going to talk about four key steps we can use to avoid mistakes while converting data collection into an enhanced data visualization.




Choosing the right system

Choosing an ERP system to aggregate different data from the entire organization and create a single source of information can be key. Look for a system that integrates embedded business intelligence and friendly data visualization tools into its solution.


Know your audience

The level of detail in the data visualization will depend entirely on the audience. Department managers, or line-of-business leaders, may need detailed information about daily operations, and your Top Management wants to view only high-level information to facilitate strategic decisions.


Know your message

Before implementing a data visualization strategy, it is important to understand what message you want to convey to your audience. Is your purpose to state quantitative sales information such as sales and goals in the previous quarter? or more qualitative financial information such as revenue growth or marketing expenses? Will the data be displayed on the dashboard for on-demand access, or will it be sent in weekly reports? Understanding these details ensures that your data visualization effectively conveys insight.


Invest in your team’s skills

Even if we think our team’s data visualization skills are excellent, conduct a further survey about confidence levels, and invest in training if necessary. Most data visualization solutions provide powerful online or face-to-face training options to improve user comprehension and skills.
