Create a new thread and address the following discussion question.

For any organization or business, people within these environments will have to make decisions.  These decisions are important because they:

• Offer more information and knowledge to tackle problems
• Offer more diversity and or alternatives
• Offer groups of people opportunity to combine knowledge and information enhancing the quality of decisions.
• Offer more opportunity for the acceptance of decisions when combined collaboratively.

When knowing this, people within an organization will have access to a variety of tools which will be used to support these decisions.  In these cases, why would data based analytic reports need to include visualizations, like charts, in efforts to enhance the decision-making process.
