Insight enable the analysis of data, informed decision making, discovery of new knowledge, and the explanation of the scenario behind the complex data. Insight enables storytelling through and about data.<br><br>We live in a data-rich, data-enabled world. Understanding the data visualization process affords flexibility to work in any industry, discipline, every major, every sector in society where there is data to be analyzed and visualized. If you have the interest, the motivation, the ability to think creatively and broadly, you are only limited by your imagination.<br><br>Data is everywhere.
