This workshop teaches the next steps of persuasively communicating what you have learned after gaining initial insight from data. You will learn the skills to put your analysis in the context of a compelling narrative and to build your argument logically and convincingly. Whatever your audience, weaving the data into a story is what communicates your findings to others, whether it be a small data set, large data set, or multiple data sets.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Anyone interested in taking the next step from understanding their data and visualizing it, to telling a cohesive story to others about their data.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- To find the compelling narrative in your data
- To connect facts that build a compelling argument
- To use compelling graphics to communicate your point
- To tailor your delivery to your audiences needs
USEFUL KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE BEFORE ATTENDING
No prior knowledge is required, but you may find it useful to attend the Module 1A: Framing the Problem workshop prior to this one. In that workshop you learn how to frame problems so that you have specific and measurable questions that can help you meet your goals. You may also want to consider attending the Module 2A: Finding Existing Data workshop which explores where to find existing data and how to choose the right data source for answering your questions.
