Data that sits in Spark or Hadoop or even a spreadsheet is not as powerful as data that is interpreted, packaged and communicated to those who need to hear what it has to say. Anyone who works with data needs to know how to effectively present that analysis to the people who will be making decisions based on the data. And it’s not as simple as throwing charts at people. You need to create narratives and visuals that really connect with audiences.
This course will cover data storytelling, data visualization and communications best practices – all with an eye to turning a raw set of data and converting it into a compelling narrative presentation that will resonate with your audience.
