At Data Summit Connect 2021, presented by DBTA and Big Data Quarterly, opening keynotes explored what it means to be data-driven and how to effectively present data to users so it can be truly useful.
Joe W. Perez, senior systems analyst, North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services, kicked off the keynote session with a presentation on the value of making data available to users in forms that make it understandable and actionable. Chuck Frisbie, field CTO, Sisense, also delivered a keynote on data and analytics strategies at Data Summit Connect.
In his presentation, titled “The Beauty and Brains of Data Storytelling: From Concept to Reality,” Perez considered the five "Stages of the Spectrum" for presenting data and making it actionable, and the importance of a blend of art and science—or beauty and brains.
