Data Visualisation & Storytelling

About the Course

Compelling and exciting storytelling and data visualisation techniques represent essential analysis and communication aspects that drive the decision-making process in today’s knowledge-based world. The power of data analysis and visualisation lies in the fact that decision-making processes are often based on distilled summaries and visual cues that are more functional and insightful than text or dark raw data.

In today’s digital data and information age, technical professionals, managers, senior executives, and government leaders often rely on storytelling and data visualisation aids to grasp concepts, approaches, and details in minimal time and with less effort. This 5-day practical Data Visualisation & Storytelling training course offers a variety of storytelling and data visualisation tools and frameworks that answer key business and operational needs towards the immersive, interactive, holistic visual representation of systems, operations, and processes. The delegates will learn to articulate stories behind datasets and use practical visualisation tools to display data findings.

Furthermore, it highlights the application of data-powered artificial intelligence and the development of intelligent decision support systems to promote smart decision-making, pattern finding from complex data, internal visualisation of images, or insights from problems. Practical examples of the storytelling and data visualisation concepts presented are thoroughly discussed during this programme.
