Introduction to Data Visualization Workshop

For organizations aiming to leverage data for decision making, analytical tools are the method of choice. Visualization software provides opportunities to observe patterns in data and to generate business insight.

With software such as Tableau, users can create and use visualizations varying in complexity to better understand important relationships and themes within their data - prompting insights into business processes and improvements in the quality of decisions.

This workshop suits those who are new to data visualization tools and want to understand the potential of data visualization, regardless of their previous technical or analytical backgrounds.
