An Introduction to Data Visualization and Storytelling Training

From: $450

Our data visualization and storytelling training is our most popular service due to it catering to very common needs. These needs include:  how to engage your audience through data storytelling, how to visualize a large amount of information into something beautiful and informative, and what the process is to easily incorporate this into your workflow. Well, we’ll teach you all of that through a blend of theory and exercises in an informative and entertaining manner to ensure your staff stay engaged and learning.

 

Participants at any level of experience with data and design will get a lot out of the training. We’ll adjust to experience levels and have taught a diverse range of skillsets and industries with great results. We start simple and build up to attendees bringing it all together and designing a data visualization in their format of choice.

Use your data and your dashboard in your workshop. We’ll design the exercises with them, too.
