As you may have gathered from my previous post, I have become very interested in cloud-based data lakehouses.

Long-time readers of this blog know I’m a big advocate for using data visualisations to better narrate the ‘stories’ that are hiding inside organisational data.

This is especially relevant considering the more complex data types and structures and the more …
Data visualisation has become one of the most popular technologies today. Not only does it provide an organisation with the ability to visually present and analyse its information, but more importantly, it gives the organisation a new way of seeing and interacting with its data.
In my previous piece, I touched on the rise of data visualisation, and how it should be positioned in the organisation to achieve real insight from their data. In this piece I cover 8 aspects that should be avoided, in order to ensure that only clear and correct messages are conveyed to the business. Failing …
Over recent years, data visualisation has certainly made a positive impact, which is no surprise given that it can help organisations achieve real insight from data.
