Competency

Explain how visualizations are used to capture actionable insights and address business problems.

Scenario

You are the facility manager for EnVision, a high-tech vehicle maker located in Atlanta. This new company designs, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles and charging units. EnVision’s unique designs, technical prowess, and limited competition has placed them in the enviable position of having a high demand for their line of products. This demand has generated over a billion dollars in pre-sale orders, and a new manufacturing facility is required to meet customer’s needs. The firm’s CEO, Mark Hammel, has asked you to assist in selecting a new site that will accommodate a new state-of-the-art facility.

Dashboards and visualization stories provide audiences with swift insights and influence key business decisions. Therefore, your CEO has decided that the data you gather should be in the form of a visualization presentation.
