World Diabetes Day and dataviz
Strictly speaking, this post is not a post about competitive intelligence, its tools, etc. It’s a mapping survey carried out on World Diabetes Day which was held on 14 November. It aims to show how mapping tools can easily enable an overview of stakeholders to be drawn up for a short event, as well as […]
