Getting to the point of your data using JMP

Leaders of organizations wear many hats and therefore have little time to digest statistical results. That’s why it’s so important for those who live and breathe data to make the most of their communications with leadership: Present clear, compelling data visualizations. Make your case and explain how the data supports it. Anticipate which questions will be asked. And – when possible – answer those questions in-real time with data.

This level of preparedness will not only allow for faster and more effective decision making, it will also help avoid the need for time-consuming follow-up meetings that can delay decisions, waste leaders’ valuable time and reduce the organization’s effectiveness overall.

Furthermore, good communication skills coupled with well-executed data analysis are a shortcut to earning credibility and trust. This is the best foundation to build upon for motivating leadership to make optimal decisions, hence; “get to the point.”

JMP 15 is chock full of features designed to help users get to the point.

For one, there is the visual workflow – the ability to use your cursor to drill down into a graph. Graphlets are a new feature of JMP 15 that allow the user to effectively share information in meetings. First, you create a high-level graph for initial consumption. The hover label editor in Graph Builder allows the user to select the next level of detail with a graph of choice.

Take, for example, a plot illustrating the annual results of a large organization. The hover label provides a graphlet that splits the summary into results for a specific facility or department. The practice can be extended as the data includes variables with meaningful splits. Organizations realize significant benefits from these dynamic graphical tools as better decisions result from extracting useful information from data in record time.

Tune in to learn new tips for using the JMP visual workflow to get right to the point.
