In-Depth Information
Develop your skills in the fundamentals of information display—from
little things, such as good use of typography, to bigger elements, such as
choosing the right chart to highlight the critical elements in your data.
People are the basis of your organization, and their skills are the basis of a
data fluent organization. The past two chapters have focused on essential skills
for data consumers and producers of data products. In the next chapter, we
turn your attention to the structural and cultural factors that can help them
flourish within the framework of your organization.
