Table and Graph Design for Effective Communication

Dollar for dollar, [this] was the best investment we've made so far in our data warehousing initiative.

Dan Richards, Mgr of Business Intelligence, Veritas Software

One of those enlightening presentations, at once simple, novel, and compelling.

Paul Winsberg, Senior Director, Global 360

This full-day course will teach you how to effectively communicate quantitative business data using tables and graphs. You will learn how to select the appropriate medium of communication (table vs. graph, and which type) and how to visually design each component to express your message clearly and compellingly.

Cost: $300 per person, which includes a copy for each attendee of the book Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten. (Course Outline)

Dashboard Design for at-a-Glance Monitoring

Dashboards offer an exciting new way to provide people at a glance with the critical information they must monitor to do their jobs. This full-day course reaches past the hype to give you the unique design skills required to build dashboards that really work.

Cost: $300 per person, which includes a copy for each attendee of the book Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data. (Course Outline)

Visual Data Analysis for Discovery and Understanding

Most business data analysis requires skills and practices involving the use of graphs that can be easily learned, but resources that teach them are almost impossible to find. Almost all books and courses on data analysis teach sophisticated statistical and financial analysis techniques, but only about 10% of business data analysis requires them. This full-day course is for those responsible for the remaining 90%.

Cost: $300 per person, which includes a copy for each attendee of the book Now You See It: Simple Visualization Techniques for Quanitative Analysis. (Course Outline)

Enrollment Requirements and Discounts

A minimum of 25 attendees is required per class. When enrollment exceeds a total of 35, each additional person attends for 25% off. Smaller groups or individuals may attend our public workshops.
