The Evolution of Data Visualization

Open Government is about making government more accessible and helps create a data-driven economy and society. But how do we become data driven when data critical to citizen engagement and government efficiency is locked away and agencies struggle to deliver meaningful information. The answer – data visualization and the evolution beyond simple tables of raw data to beautifully crafted visuals that deliver deeper insights. Whether your agency needs to foster citizen engagement, communicate a better story to management or drive better efficiencies and value with analytic insights, all branches of government can benefit from analytic data visualization. We will discuss how government can enable Open Government with data visualization and evolve how citizens interact with government data.

In this session, we will discuss:

• The definition of data visualization and analytics.
• Why Data Visualization matters for Open Government.
• The state of government data and the opportunity to create deeper insights.
• The role of analytic visualization to move beyond a dashboard.
