Visualization | 100 Learn from HBR on Ranking Considerations

We often have to rank and present important assessment considerations or prioritization considerations. We can use the following visualization elements: 

• Use the bar length in the bar chart to indicate its importance or value.
• Use stacked ranking to list the important factors in the topic and then the results of each item in order of importance or priority. 
• Use color to categorize the category. ​

From HBR July-August 2024 Edition

The chart from HBR effectively utilizes color to illustrate the categories of relationship quality, product usage, and value realization. It also stack ranks the metrics and uses a bar chart to show the importance or weight of each metric.

From the chart, we can see that customer long-term commitment is the most important metric, followed by customer sentiment and cost. The other metrics are equally important. Product usage is less important compared to relationship quality and value realization.

Based on this analysis, the suggestion should be to focus on ensuring long-term commitment, maintaining positive customer sentiment, and reducing costs.
