An RSI Understanding Risk method
Data visualization
Data visualization is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Data visualization transforms complex data into graphical formats—such as charts, maps, and interactive dashboards—that improve understanding and communication. It supports pattern recognition, trend analysis, and stakeholder engagement. In risk contexts, well-designed visuals can convey uncertainty, emphasize key findings, and improve transparency. Poor visual choices, however, can mislead or oversimplify, so the design process must be intentional and audience-aware.
More specifically
RSI incorporates data visualization into most of its risk products, using both static and interactive formats. Its team combines analytical rigor with communication insight to design visuals that are clear, interpretable, and aligned with the needs of regulators, policymakers, or the public. RSI ensures that data visuals remain faithful to source data while enhancing accessibility—supporting more informed decision-making across technical and non-technical audiences.
