Fred Kuu (HBX Uncovered) just pointed out Stephen Few and his company Perceptual Edge to me (Thanks Fred!). While I can’t comment on Stephen’s company, if his gallery is any indication, he’s got something going on up there in Berkeley. In the gallery, Stephen takes some very messy chart and table designs, diagnoses them and provides excellent solutions. More over, from the screen shots he provides, they are all easily repeatable in the ubiquitous Excel (Do you think that Tufte would call Excel the Powerpoint of Analytics?). I encourage you to take a look because Stephen’s examples cover the most basic of report design mistakes and he even gives you the answers!
