Data Visualization & Storytelling Workshop

Analyzing data isn't enough. You need to communicate through visuals and story to drive real value.

Whether you’re in marketing, human resources, finance, operations, or analytics, being able to understand data, pull out key insights, and communicate data effectively is now critical to your own career growth and to driving your organization forward.

In the Data Visualization & Storytelling workshops, you will get hands-on experience with using data to visually and orally communicate insights that drive action. The course is divided into two half-day sessions. The morning will cover data visualization best practices, and the afternoon will teach you how to craft powerful data-driven stories that influence peers and leaders.
