Two Data Science Visual Aids
Data science is challenging many organizations to upgrade their IT infrastructures, and this can be a painful and confusing process. After many consultations this year around different data challenges at both corporate and social purpose organizations, I drew the chart below to help explain the process. For audiences who spurn terms like “schema,” various technical jargon can be cleverly disguised with the following food metaphor: “Data as Dinner: Institutional Learning is Delicious.” Short version: “Everybody eats, and everybody also needs data. Both are delicious.”
Gregor Hocmuth at DADA also pointed out the helpful menu below from Andrew Abela’s www.ExtremePresentation.com, and I’m thinking of how this would function as a clickable menu. Gregor’s idea is that people would respond better to visual data choices, and I’m wondering how this would work. Anybody who knows of a system like this, please get in touch with me!
