Event Details
Start the business transformation by telling your data story. Learn insider techniques to make your workaccessible to non-technical audiences and to command the future with an inspiring presentation. Data scientists are highly skilled at combining complex data sets, deriving nuanced insights anddeveloping compelling visualizations. To get the full benefit of our work, however, the business mustadopt our findings and act on our recommendations. First, we must sell it. We need to present a clear and compelling business case that explains our workand inspires key stakeholders to take bold new steps forward. We sell it by telling the data story: the “what” of our new insights, the “so what” of the opportunity, and the “then what” of how our work leads to a better future. See how to build your data story and use your personal style to command the room, maintain control ofthe conversation, build consensus and inspire action.
