We don't have to be told how important numbers are, but not everyone succeeds at presenting them in a way that's understandable. Presenting numbers effectively is both a craft and an art, much like writing coherently and speaking eloquently. It requires respect for the audience, a sense of narrative flow, and knowledge about what makes presentations understandable and effective. This article shows how you can present numerical data more effectively. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
