Data Visualisation

Key objectives:

The vision for the working party remains that through their work, the actuary should have:

• A modern library of different visualisation techniques
• An understanding of which visualisations work well for different purposes (eg, data investigation vs reporting to management)
• Domain-specific examples of helpful practice (eg, pensions, investment, life or general insurance)
• An understanding of how to produce the visualisations, including tools and techniques (not just Excel)
• An understanding of the principles of developing and improving data visualisations
• Awareness of caveats that should be associated with data visualisations
