Australian Graduate Survey Communicating results for effective decision making Note that the figures contained within this presentation are fictitious.
Why do we need to communicate results? AGS results are used at USC to: Inform strategic decision making Assess program and institution performance Influence improvements to programs Review learning and teaching Develop internal policies
Why use visualisations? “Numbers have an important story to tell. They rely on you to give them a clear and convincing voice.” Stephen Few
