Overview

Data and visual analytics are powerful tools for governments to educate the public on national issues, while at the same time being transparent about policies and informing policymaking. “This is a case of government taking a large data set and making it much more intelligible and useful for average people like you and I, who aren’t data scientists,” says Ben Jones, Director of Outreach Programmes at Tableau. Jones is currently writing a book on the do’s and don’ts of visualising data with the Tableau platform.
