“When stories, insights and patterns can be revealed visually, they act as a portal, a looking glass into data about your organization. Data visualization tells a story to audiences who aren’t used to understanding such information at first glance, providing a wider scope of appreciation of that data,” says David McCandless, writer and author of Information is Beautiful. In this video interview, he talks about the beauty that visualization uncovers in structures and systems that run the global economy, and says that it allows employees to share one view, one story of how their organization functions.

McCandless was also a keynote speaker at The Premier Business Leadership Series in Antwerp, Belgium. Visualize the beauty by watching this video.
