Are you ready to create your own 'good charts' - data visualizations that more effectively communicate your ideas and research and that advance your career? The original Good Charts has changed the dataviz and management landscape by helping readers understand how to think visually, and by laying out a process for creating powerful data visualizations. Since its publication, the market has consistently demanded more practical content and tools to help people in all kinds of enterprises gain the skills they need to get started. The Good Charts Workbook extends the usefulness of Good Charts by putting theory into practice and helping readers to apply its principles.

He speaks frequently on the power and necessity of good data visualization--his most recent talk being his third consecutive year presenting on dataviz at SXSW in Austin, Texas--and has worked with many companies and individuals to up their dataviz game. He is a senior editor at Harvard Business Review where he writes and edits about visualization, and also technology and business.
