The Big Picture

The Big Picture - How to Use Data Visualization to Make Better Decisions Faster - by Steve Wexler.

My Take - A great book about moving from XLS spreadsheets (e.g. rows and columns of data) to more meaningful visualizations to help your business survey and thrive in this fast paced world where your competition is evolving and if you don't - you won't be around.
