Good Charts Workbook

The Good Charts Workbook is the hands-on guidance you've been waiting for if you're ready to produce your own "good charts"—data visualizations that effectively convey your ideas and research while also advancing your career. Because it includes hands-on practice, this is an excellent book for a beginner practitioner.

It's written in a way that makes you feel like Berinato is a helpful mentor or coworker who is just guiding you through the process. It contains quiz-like prompts, such as why a certain pie chart is difficult to understand and what may be done to improve it. Then there's a sketch area where you may draw what you'd rather do. Because the data sets he provides are simple, you can quickly draw them.

With warm-up exercises and mini-challenges for each, Harvard Business Review Senior Editor and DataViz expert Scott Berinato walks you through the key challenges in creating good charts—controlling color, crafting for clarity, choosing chart types, practicing persuasion, capturing concepts—step by step. Throughout the Workbook, users will find useful suggestions and reminders, as well as white space to practice the Good Charts talk-sketch-prototype approach. The Good Charts Workbook is a must-have guide for bettering your grasp of DataViz and developing better charts to help you make your case.

The original book, Good Chart Workbook has received a lot of praise, for example: "An alternative to 'death by PowerPoint,' this is an excellent work... a complete and appealing introduction to the topic." -- Choice.
