This document discusses effective methods for communicating data to audiences. It emphasizes that data should be presented visually whenever possible, as images can convey information more clearly than walls of text. The key is understanding the business problem, measuring impact, and determining the most meaningful way to present only the most essential data, in order to prevent overwhelming audiences rather than empowering them. Managers can be empowered through data-driven decisions when it is communicated effectively using clear visualizations and interpretations, rather than raw statistics and technical jargon that most will not understand.

6. Data Communication
through Visualization
Data presentation plays the key role in interpretation of the
communicated information by the audience. A variety of methods can be
used to communicate information including textual forms, however, these
are often overwhelming to interpret due to complexity or/and amount of
data. As a result, the audience can misinterpret the information which is
why it is crucial to present data in a way which is easily understood.

9. What not to say
Since analytical people are comfortable with technical terms they
often assume that their audience will be too. But most of the
audience won’t understand the technical jargon. As one analyst
at a travel firm put it, “Nobody cares about your R2.”
