Data Visualization in Obeya: Storytelling with Data

Everybody loves a good story! We all want our ideas, thoughts, or analysis to create an impact and we create stories to do so. Especially in an Obeya you want your story to travel beyond your own team or department and act as a starting point for further inquiry, discussions, or decisions. For this to happen, the story must be recognized and understood by your audience. As we know from the 11th principle of Obeya it is important to ensure that information is easy to consume, readily available, up to date, and visually attractive.

In this video Friso focuses on the last part, make it visually attractive. Not just because pretty things increase overall happiness, although that is a nice side effect, but mostly because this will help you convey your story and your ideas. A firm guarantee that the overall effectiveness of data visualizations is increased.

As more organizations and companies are increasingly data driven, more and more charts and graphs are cranked out every day. Let’s make them more attractive!
