Tell a story with numbers
Data is at the heart of every modern business, and can play a key role in an effective presentation. But it can be difficult to summarize complex data into simple stories and clear visualizations.
In this course, attendees will learn how to distill data down to key insights and create scannable visualizations that connect with the audience.
