Key building blocks of good decision making include the ability to
visualize, analyze, and verbally communicate ideas effectively. Large
volumes of data can be particularly complex to understand and present.
However, if data is visually presented through a combination of
meaningful charts, text, and a verbal narrative, the intended audience
can better engage in the discussion of the facts, patterns, and findings
that must be acknowledged before moving to the decision-making stage.
In this discussion, you will take on the role of a new restaurant
owner who is checking on sales since the opening of your establishment
in January. You have just downloaded the following sales data from your
financial software: Module Four Discussion Sales Data Spreadsheet .
It includes sales by food item for each month you have been in
business. You would like to create visualizations that illustrate which
items are selling well and how the business is doing month by month.
In your initial post, make sure to include the visualizations you created and address the following:
What have you been able to identify through the visual representation of the data?
What kind of graphic have you selected and why?
How would this visualization need to be changed based on your audience?
