Choosing a data visualization tool is like being a barista serving coffee: everyone wants their data, their way, personalized, fast, and perfect. Many organizations have a cottage industry of data visualization tools, and it's difficult to know what tool to use, and when. Different tools exist in different departments, and if it doesn't meet the user requirements, the default position is to go back to Excel and move the data around there. This session will examine data visualization tools such as SSRS Excel, Tableau, QlikView, Datazen, Kibana and PowerBI, in order to craft and blend your data visualization tools to serve your data customers better.

Editor's Notes
- We will look at: introductory R and why it's useful, and where to go for more information. We will learn statistics and R by looking at: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. We will loosely base the curriculum on the Khan Academy statistics course, but we aim to help the curious, the scared, and the rookie.
- Effective: the viewer gets it (ease of interpretation) Accurate: sufficient for correct quantitative evaluation. Lie factor = size of visual effect/size of data effect Efficient: minimize data-ink ratio and chart-junk, show data, maximize data-ink ratio, brase non-data-ink, brase redundant data-ink Aesthetics: must not offend viewer's senses (e.g. moire patterns) Adaptable: can adjust to serve multiple needs
