Breaking Barriers with Accessible Data Visualisation

See how accessible data visualisation removes barriers to insight, helping teams communicate complex information more clearly and make faster, more informed decisions.

One of the biggest challenges businesses face when it comes to data visualisation is handling the volume of data and the need for faster processing methods. 

There's a common misconception that effective data visualisation must be fancy and interactive, but simple visuals can be just as powerful. Ann K. Emery, an expert in the field, believes that accessibility doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive. 

In this podcast, she shares actionable strategies for creating accessible visualizations with Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations at EM360Tech. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Ensuring proper colour contrast
  • Using direct labelling instead of legends. 
  • Avoiding using all-caps
  • Using grey to highlight important information
  • Employing small multiples to simplify complex visualisations.
