2012 - AMA: Data Storytelling & Visualization
2012 - AMA: Data Storytelling & Visualization
Overview
Duration: 2.0 days
Visually and clearly present data and the message it represents.
Communicating data and the story of what that data means has become increasingly important in recent years. As attention spans decrease and the amounts of quantitative information increase, it is crucial to be able to visualize your data for your audiences in the most clear and effective ways possible. A chart that takes 10 seconds to understand, compared to one that takes only 2 seconds, could mean the difference between a sale and no sale.
Your data is only as powerful as your visual presentation of it.
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals and best practices of data visualization techniques, as well as hands-on approaches to using Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to present your data in a variety of formats.
