Death to business charts!The animated graphic is a quick lesson in why charts in Excel and PowerPoint fail to illuminate the data they present. It shows a radical make-over of a typical business chart, into a real beauty.
Obese visualizations are bad, but anorexic content is even worse. Lean-looking reports that are packed with information are ideal. All you need is a sharp scalpel and…the death of the business chart. Finally!

Do yourself a favor and watch the animation. If you are a member of the choir, show this link to someone who has yet to be converted.

Jeff,
Just heard some of your comments at HIMSS 2008 at the Improving EHR Interfaces presentation. I loved hearing what all the physicians in the room had to say.
I'll have to read Dr. Bissantz's blog in more depth since it has a lot of content, but I like what I've read so far. The timing is nice since we are just putting in a reporting module to the product I work on (not an EHR unfortunately).
I'll have to pull out excerpts for my development team.
Cheers!
