Practical Storytelling with Data
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through visual encoding choices and pivot table analysis on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with statistical fundamentals, data cleaning and preparation and data quality management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where statistical fundamentals is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against established visualisation principles
- Improve data cleaning and preparation within their own organisation
- Review data quality management and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of spreadsheet controls rather than escalating it
