Tool – Visualization

• Challenge: I was all set for a presentation on the affect of pollution on Global

Warming. I prepared a very good presentation mostly filled with hard statistics. As I  thought that people would be happy to get all the information in numbers as  numbers are easily comparable and they would also be able to digest things all the  information easily. Logical connectives can also be made much easier with numbers.  But at the end of the presentation I got very obvious question that were already  presented in the data in tabular format. So I understood that though I presented  every thing but my audience was able to digest very little of it.

• Selection: So I thought of selecting the visualization tool. With the help of this tool

we can present all the data in a more relevant visual format. That would make it  easier for people to digest. With a glance of any charts people can easily recognize  what’s happening. This is a very essential tool for any presenter.

• Application: So, what I did is to convert all the statistics to well presented charts.

And market important data points with different colors and arrows. I used proper  data labels and naming format and made the charts interactive. Then I prepared the  same presentation and presented in in front of similar kind of audience. I was  amazed to see the difference this time. People were easily able to grasp the entire  thing and they could easily remember the important data points. Even they came up  with very good questions that helped me to improve my presentation in the future.

• Insight: From the above experience, I came to understand that visualization is a

great way to make people remember things. A visually paired presentation helps  people to  easily understand the data and grasp things smoothly. A lot of data can be  easily incorporated in a chart and represented in a visual presentation. A non- technical person can also understand visualizations easily and quickly.

• Approach: Next time in my presentation, I would apply visualization as well

storyboarding. As telling a coherent story makes people understand things more  easily in a form of a story or timeline. This would help them remember parts after  parts once they could recall a single part.
