Transform Data into Compelling Stories

Overview

Collecting data doesn’t automatically lead to smart decisions. Numbers can hint at opportunities, but they don’t spark action. To persuade decision-makers, data needs to be delivered as a narrative that ignites the eyes, mind, and heart — a technique called data storytelling.

Transform Data into Compelling Stories helps professionals grow from presenters to storytellers who can influence others by making data insights resonate across the business. Delivered as a Signature Session — a highly actionable, full-day learning experience led by an industry-recognized data storyteller — this event uses collaborative exercises to teach data visualization techniques and strategic narrative approaches. You’ll learn how to craft data-driven presentations and reports that persuade leaders, establishing yourself as a trusted voice guiding the future of your organization.
