Visual Analytics/BI Spearhead CoE Nordic at SAS Institute AB. I've always been interested in the art of data visualization.

@datatainer Yes, I do agree, it is not easy. My tip is, at least have a try and focus what is important for the audience = The Why, why should the audience be interesting in what you are trying to tell them #saschat #businessintelligence #datastorytelling

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A4: The art of storytelling. Not an easy task, this is an art, but very effective when communicating with others and when you want to prove your point. At least, give it a try #saschat #businessintelligence #datastorytelling

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A5: When an end-user is using your developed dashboard with huge proudness and confidence live during a presentation #saschat #businessintelligence #bi

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A3: Knowing what value is expected from end-users and how they want to navigate to get there, and keep it simple #saschat #data

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A2: No doubt, access or lack of data and data quality to meet end-users requirements and expectations #saschat #businessintelligence

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@weik_david Yes, smart suggestions generated by AI #SASchat #BusinessIntelligence

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A1: Currently not much. I have big hopes for the future, such as smarter suggestions during dashboard creation. Select your data and AI will suggest a dashboard for you, KPI suggestions, different design options etc. #saschat #artificialintelligence

Hello #saschat and #visualizationlovers 😊 Greetings from a chilly spring afternoon in Stockholm, Sweden

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

Is it already over, how time flies… Many thanks all, great discussions. Take care #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@StuSztukowski @sasforums Love what I read, I'm really looking forward to this #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Stu Sztukowski @StuSztukowski]

@sasforums A6: You're going to see more automation and blending of analytics with BI. You'll see more embedded analytics and ways to use ML without needing to know it. If you want to see this type of thing in action today, check out Automated Explanation in VA! #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@StuSztukowski @sasforums Spot on

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A6: I expect fewer clicks to insights and more automated guidance. Looking even further, what about AI-powered #visualization and #dashboard suggestions and creation? I can imagine it being available for us sooner than we think 😊 #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@HarrySnart I like "Think before you plot", I will use that statement :-) #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A5: Keep it simple, understanding what value is expected by the end-users is a very good start point. Even one data point can provide value as long as it ignites action and eager to explore insights further #SASChat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A4: Analytic use case canvas is a mindset that helps me to remind me of the WHAT, HOW and WHY, in my opinion the three cornerstones of creating a good value story. WHAT is expected, HOW to showcase it and most importantly: WHY this is important (Value) #SASchat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@HarrySnart So true #SASchat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A3: Finding the balance between simplicity and appearance. We love cool visualizations, but at the end of the day, someone is still trying to interpret it #SASchat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A2: Storytelling is when you can transform text and numbers into value and purpose = value story. Even a simple list table of data can deliver value if you have a story #SASchat #visualanalytics

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

@punirajah @mHingley Exactly #SASChat

[Carl-Olow Magnusson @COMagnusson]

A2: If I need to pick one specific favorite #visualization, #boxplot is definitely one of them. Maybe not useful for everyone, but it is a #visualization that delivers a lot of useful statistics #SASchat #visualanalytics
