Thanks to the internet and a growing number of affordable tools, translating information into visuals is now easy (and cheap) for everyone, regardless of data skills or design skills. Complex systems-business process workflows, for example, or the way customers move through a store-are hard to understand, much less fix, if you can’t first see them. Without visualization, detecting the inefficiencies hidden in the patterns and anomalies of that data would be an impossible slog.īut even information that’s not statistical demands visual expression. Ten takeoffs and landings produce as much data as is held in the Library of Congress. But each time the Osprey gets off the ground or touches back down, its sensors create a terabyte of data. A typical example: At Boeing the managers of the Osprey program need to improve the efficiency of the aircraft’s takeoffs and landings. Decision making increasingly relies on data, which comes at us with such overwhelming velocity, and in such volume, that we can’t comprehend it without some layer of abstraction, such as a visual one. Now visual communication is a must-have skill for all managers, because more and more often, it’s the only way to make sense of the work they do.ĭata is the primary force behind this shift. For the most part, it benefited design- and data-minded managers who made a deliberate decision to invest in acquiring it.
Not long ago, the ability to create smart data visualizations, or dataviz, was a nice-to-have skill.
This article is adapted from the author’s just-published book, Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations. Thanks to the internet and a growing number of affordable tools, visualization is accessible for everyone-but that convenience can lead to charts that are merely adequate or even ineffective.īy answering just two questions, Berinato writes, you can set yourself up to succeed: Is the information conceptual or data-driven? and Am I declaring something or exploring something? He leads readers through a simple process of identifying which of the four types of visualization they might use to achieve their goals most effectively: idea illustration, idea generation, visual discovery, or everyday dataviz. Decision making increasingly relies on data, which arrives with such overwhelming velocity, and in such volume, that some level of abstraction is crucial. But now it’s a must-have skill for all managers, because it’s often the only way to make sense of the work they do. There are 36 missions to complete, each with different cartography and navigations including 216 different challenges and 500 airport replicas, meaning you will have a different piloting experience each time you play as well as real time weather conditions.Not long ago, the ability to create smart data visualizations (or dataviz) was a nice-to-have skill for design- and data-minded managers. There are more than 5000 situations you can encounter, so you need to be resourceful. You will have to navigate between the equipment dashboard panel and get ready to solve different possible situations so you can become the best pilot out there. You will have to keep your head straight and keep cool while you have to deal with emergencies and incidents inspired by real events, including critical climate conditions and scenarios that will test your adrenaline.Įxtreme Landings Pro will also test your navigation skills from the moment you start your engines. See if you would be a good pilot with this immersive flying app.Īlways dreamt of being a pilot or were curious to know how it would be to fly a plane? Now you can know how it feel like with Extreme Landings Pro, an app that will test your piloting skills and will train you under the most critical conditions.
