    "Visualizing Unexpected Events"

    Session 1:
    Steve Wexler:  Speaker and Panelist
    “Why Trust and Integrity in Data Visualization is Critical”


    Abstract: Government has asked all of us to sacrifice for the greater good. How long will you continue to do this? In less than a year’s time you may be asked to take a vaccine. Will you take it? These are big asks and big decisions, and we crave trusted, reliable information to make these decisions. In this session we’ll look at how some governments and organizations are engendering confidence and trust, and which have done the opposite. We’ll also discuss critical thinking around data and what you must do, always, to make sure your stakeholders trust what you have to tell them.

To help answer these questions, Chantilly Jaggernauth and the Lovelytics Data Visualization team developed several COVID-19 Workforce Analytics visualizations to provide organizations with a baseline in analyzing their workforce data.
