This week, I sat in a two day information quality conference. One of the key points was that data is not necessarily being used to improve service delivery, because (very simplistically)
* data quality is problematic, and
* we don't have people who can tell the story of the data so that others can relate to it.
I've already decided that my new thing for this year will be to think about communicating data. So Im seraching for good examples of visualization methods.
A friend sent this interesting example along:

And another friend alerted me to this website:
