If you are responsible for presenting quantitative information or manage those who do, you should read this book. It will alleviate countless hours of confusion and frustration, and it will make you an indispensable resource in your organization.
Information, no matter how important, cannot speak for itself. To tell its story, it relies on us to give it a clear voice. No information is more critical than quantitative data - numbers that reveal what's happening, how our organizations are performing, and opportunities to do better. Numbers are usually presented in tables and graphs, but few are properly designed, resulting not only in poor communication, but at times in miscommunication. This is a travesty, because the skills needed to present quantitative information effectively are simple to learn.
Good communication doesn't just happen; it is the result of good design.
In Show Me the Numbers, Stephen Few takes us on an exciting journey of discovery, teaching us to present quantitative information simply, clearly, accurately, and compellingly.
