and “The Age of Smart Information”

Deceptively powerful and stunningly beautiful, “4D” has always been right there in front of us, hiding in plain sight, waiting to be unlocked. All it took was the convergence of human ingenuity, artificial intelligence, and the rise of a medium capable of magic.

The emergence of this new approach to seeing how our businesses really operate has been driven by the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence, coupled with advanced Data Visualization techniques. We now have the ability to not only see, but truly understand the invisible elements within our businesses.

FOREWORD by Refik Anadol

Refik Anadol is the undisputed champion of bringing data to life. His AI-powered large-scale data art installations have achieved legendary status. The pieces are constantly in motion, continuously revealing new aspects, and gracefully morphing states, in the most fluid of ways imaginable. And the best example we have of 4D principles in action.

ABOUT THE BOOK

We all know Business is constantly changing – so why are we still using static representations to make decisions?

Despite decades of advancements in reporting and analytics, we’ve never managed to properly convey the energy and highly-dynamic nature of living business systems. These ever-changing, increasingly complex entities cannot be explained in static terms. Yet, we still insist on using primitive charts and graphics to depict them in every situation.

No longer.

The emergence of a new approach called “4D”, fueled by Artificial Intelligence, Web3, and Spatial Computing, coupled with advanced visualization and data techniques, now provide us with the ability to not only see, but truly understand what is happening within our businesses.

“The ability for us to rewind and fast forward time at will, is one the most significant advances in the history of business. It will underlie and power everything that will come next.” – M. Pell

Utilizing these state-of-the-art techniques for representing process, systems, and flow – business will forevermore be shown as living, breathing, immersive representations, in a form that truly depicts their ever-changing nature.

Welcome to the 4th Dimension, and the future of global business.

INTERVIEWS

INDUSTRY PRAISE

“M. Pell’s ability to imagine not only the future of business, but that of humanity’s interactions with technology at large, is an important perspective that we should all understand and embrace.”
– Refik Anadol (Media Artist, Legend)

“Mike has expertly synthesized what we have all been thinking and working towards – a new visual language for interacting with and interpreting data, powered by AI. Brilliant.”
– Amy Peck (CEO, EndeavorXR)

“This is a virtuosic command performance of visionary digital transformation concepts. Individually brilliant, and collectively almost overwhelming in scope and intricacy. Truly remarkable.”
– David Brunner (Founder & CEO, ModuleQ)

“Maverick ideas are always ahead of their time. This is one of those.”
– Billie Carn, Chief Maverick, MaverickWisdom.com

“Pell maps out a natural, multi-sensory evolution to our current approaches of understanding business, keeping people squarely front and center.”
– Nancy Organ, visualization practitioner, teacher, and author of “Data Visualization for People of All Ages”

“Visualizing Business is a captivating preview of the future of artificial intelligence where real-time data is dynamic, spatial, and evolving. Magic.”
– Sami Tauber, Founder and Multi-Media Artist at VNCCII

“With every new book, Mike shows that visualization isn’t just about providing great insights with grace, simplicity, and depth; it also depends on dreaming big. This book won’t teach you how to better use graphics in your business, but it’ll accomplish something more valuable: it’ll spark your imagination”
– Alberto Cairo, Designer and teacher. Author of “The Art of Insight”

“There is possibly no one alive today with the perspective, experience, and clear vision of this author and so it comes as no surprise that they have managed to take the extraordinarily complex world of data visualization and the meaningful application of dynamic movement into the realm of us mere mortals.

M. Pell’s proposition is succinct and undeniable in the way that the best new theories seem so obvious when someone finally explains them to you – but it takes vision to see the path through the forest of trees. Highly recommended reading for anyone dealing with big data and organizational stewardship.”
– Maxim Jago, Founder of the Creativity Conference
