CEO & Founding Partner, Realising-Potential
Dr Weidong Yang
CEO, Kineviz Inc.
When things are complex it’s difficult to make sense of the world. There is no single fail safe approach to managing complex projects and we are often dependant on feedback loops and fragmented communication. Being able to see things, people and events in context allows us to do our best thinking and make better decisions.
In this session we will explore how visualising data and information helps to navigate the data we have, to see patterns, make observations and to see the relationships that are important.
