Over the past decade, the art of visualizing large datasets has developed in to nearly a science. This will enable organizations to track worker performance at a glance. New techniques are available for viewing statistical trends, and detecting outliers [http://mitsloan.mit.edu/newsroom/2007-brynjolfsson.php].
