Brouhaha: Experiments in Strategy & Visualization

Jason Pearson, founder of TRUTHstudio (http://www.truthstudio.com/) has been a pioneer in using effective information design and data visualization to guide the strategies of public interest organizations (governments, NGO’s, foundations) that promote a sustainable future. He describes all of his work--consulting engagements (e.g., US EPA, Inter-American Development Bank, World Wildlife Fund), research projects (e.g. www.economymap.org (http://www.economymap.org/)), and independent initiatives (e.g. purchasingcouncil.org (http://purchasingcouncil.org/))--as experimental contributions to a broader, society-wide effort to apply our collective innovation capacity to the social, environmental, and economic challenges of our time. In this presentation, he will share some of these experiments, highlighting lessons learned in his work to visualize complex information in support of strategic analysis and decision-making for the public interest.
