PARTTHREE

Getting Started: Becoming a Visual Organization

In Part II, we saw how dynamic organizations like Netflix, Wedgies, and UT have embraced dataviz and seen spectacular results. We saw that Visual Organizations recognize the uncertainty inherent in today's business environment. Along with a wide variety of data types and sources, they are increasingly using data visualization to mitigate risks and make informed business decisions.

Part III takes a step back. What can we learn from Netflix, Wedgies, and UT? What lessons, myths, and mistakes can be extrapolated from Part II? No, the next chapters should not be considered a step-by-step checklist for becoming a Visual Organization. Rather, my goal is to present sage advice for readers interested in reaping the benefits of dataviz at work—and avoiding common pitfalls.
