Too often, excellent data analysis gets lost when communicated with others. This course shows you how to communicate your analysis with clarity, class and impact.

Learn how to create beautiful visualisations that guide your audience’s attention and tell a compelling data-driven story. Weave these into a narrative that takes your audience on a journey of understanding that culminates with them grasping the key messages you want them to take away from your presentation.

What’s in the Course?

The course is structured in 4 parts – each an essential component of perfect data communication.

1. Understanding Your Audience. Knowing who you are presentating to dramatically affects how your present your findings and what to include. This sections shows you how to set scene in a way that ensures your presentation includes everything your audience needs and doesn’t waste their time.

2. Choosing the Right Visualisation. Too often people select the wrong visualisation for the data they are sharing. This sections shows you the do’s and don’t’s for the most common visualisations, and explores alternatives, such as text and tables.

3. Crafting the Perfect Visualisation. This sections introduces a two-step process for creating a stunning graphic. First, I show you how to strip a visualisation down to its bare essentials, so that it is clutter-free and sitraction-free. Next, I show you how to use colour, contrast, size and more to guide your audience’s attention to the key message.

4. Telling a Data-Driven Story. Even the most compelling visualisations need to be embedded in a good narrative to capture your audience’s attention and enthusiasm. Here, we explore ideas of narrative structure and presentation skills  so that your analysis really speaks to your audience.

As well as video lessons, the course also has activities and assignments for you to put what you have learned into practice.
