Let's start with the importance of data storytelling and the elements you need to tell stories with data. You'll learn best practices to influence how decisions are made before learning how to translate technical results into stories for non-technical stakeholders.


Fundamentals of storytelling

The story begins

Building a story

Translating technical results

A non-tech story

Be aware

Impacting the decision-making process

Is it a true story?

Structured to impact

A story to compare

Storytelling with Data

Deepen your storytelling knowledge. Learn how to avoid common mistakes when telling stories with data by tailoring your presentations to your audience. Then learn best practices for including visualizations and choosing between oral or written formats to make sure your presentations pack a punch!


Selecting the right data

The truth about salaries

Earning interests

Showing relevant statistics

Salary variation

On a payroll

It's not significant

Visualizations for different audiences

Salary development

Salary on demand

Choosing the appropriate format

A communication problem

Should we meet?

When in doubt

Preparing to Communicate the Data

Now that you understand how to prepare for communicating findings, it’s time to learn how to structure your reports. You'll also learn the importance of reproducibility (work smarter, not harder) and how to get to the point when describing your findings. You’ll then get to apply all you’ve learned to a real-world use case as you create a compelling report on credit risk.


Types of reports

Something to report

In summary

Reproducibility and references

Replicate me

Same results

Write precise and clear reports

Half-empty glass

Strong words

Case study: report on credit risk

Credit me

Report my credit

Structuring Written Reports

You'll finish by learning simple techniques to structure a presentation, communicate insights, and inspire your audience to take action. Lastly, you'll learn how to improve your communication style and prepare to handle questions from your audience.

Give your presentation with enthusiasm. The audience picks up on your feelings. If you are confident, they will be convinced by your content.

It's a good idea to pause for a few seconds after you reveal the main finding, so your audience has time to process what you have just explained.

Your central message should be repeated and linked to your findings throughout your slide deck.

If you realize you are too nervous, you should avoid making eye contact with the audience. They will be unconvinced of your content.

If your audience is engaged with your presentation, you can explain your content in detail, even if it takes longer than expected.

You should emphasize well-known concepts by saying, 'As you all know, this algorithm has good accuracy for forecasting problems.'
