Use the power of data visualisation to align your organisation

Sharpen your decision-making by representing data in a way that your whole organisation can understand.

What’s the cost of doing nothing?

  • 70% of employees are expected to work heavily with data by 2025¹. 
  • But only 40% of employees say they are being provided with the data skills their employers expect². 

A pronounced skills gap is just around the corner – and organisations need to act quickly or risk falling behind.

Data visualisations for clearer communication

A strategic visualisation makes the light bulb go off. You just don’t get that with a spreadsheet.

Data visualisation is the process of turning data into graphics, which simplifies information and sophisticated ideas. It is both a science and an art form. It requires not just technical skill – but also craft of storytelling to ensure your audience are taken on the journey.

Visualisations showcase and communicate trends that would otherwise be the exclusive domain of data teams. Converting data into a visual form enables people to present their research and leverage a new, well-informed course of action. This process helps democratise data and allows businesses to make better strategic decisions.

Empowering employees by raising data skills is crucial in order for businesses to transform. To harness data, companies must scale organisation-wide upskilling solutions to instill a true data culture.

The skills needed to work with data closely mirror many of the abilities the World Economic Forum outlines in their Top Ten Work Skills for 2025 list. This list maps the jobs and skills of the future.

These include: Analytical thinking & innovation (#1); Complex problem-solving (#3); Critical thinking and analysis; Reasoning, problem-solving and ideation (#10).

While data analysis and data science both involve working with data, the main difference is what each discipline does with that data.

Where data science is more technical (data modelling, algorithms, predictive models etc.), data analysis involves identifying trends, developing charts, and creating visual presentations to help businesses make more strategic decisions.
