Episode 65: [Value Boost] How to Upgrade Your Data Visuals Without Design Training


Listen Later

Even the most brilliant data analysis can fall flat when presented with poor visualisations. Many data scientists simply use default charts from their analysis software, missing the opportunity to create compelling visuals that drive understanding and decision-making.

In this Value Boost episode, Bill Shander joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to share the design principles that can transform technical charts into powerful communication tools - even for those without formal design training.

This quick-hit episode reveals:

  1. Why default visualisation settings in most software undermine effective communication [02:03]
  2. The research-backed "preattentive response" principle that determines whether your visualisation succeeds or fails [05:17]
  3. How the counterintuitive "do less" approach creates more impactful data stories [06:18]
  4. A simple glance test to immediately evaluate and improve any visualisation you create [11:21]
