Visualization

Data Visualization is the critical step where the rubber meets the road. If you can’t communicate your results in a way that enables recipients to leverage information and make decisions, then all the hard work done in the Data Management, and Analysis steps was for naught.

Fortunately, all people are sensory creatures that are used to interacting in their world using their vision and sense of touch. These are universal skills that we all share and have mastered.

Data Visualization leverages these skills by speaking in a visual language instead of relying fully on words or tables of numbers. This allows more people to quickly and easily understand complex concepts. Interactive visual elements incorporate our sense of touch further enabling quick understanding and facilitating independent data exploration. The simplicity of the iPad has enabled interactive applications to be digested by a larger range of staff and management, therefore helping further bridge the divide between the statistical analysts and the decision makers.

Not only are interactive visualizations more accessible, easier to understand, and to use, but with the increasing volumes of data that we encounter in sports, graphically presenting data is the only way to communicate results, due to the sheer size of the raw data sets.
