Overview

How data is presented can affect decision-making, and "Yes" it is your responsibility to present data in the best manner possible. Q: Are you serious about your data… or are you decorating?  A: Find out in this webinar.

This course will introduce the theory of looking at data with fresh eyes and a mindset. It challenges the old-fashioned styles and rules. Data presentation will no longer look drab or ordinary, but instead, professional and interesting.

You will also learn some technical tips and tricks, for instance, one of the best-kept secrets about chart creation: How to do the work once, and use it over and over again.

Attend this webinar and you will see the difference and be proud to present your data message at the next board meeting!

Why you should Attend

The goal of this webinar is to challenge the old belief that data is boring and to turn that belief into the excitement that data empowers the decision-makers with crystal clear messaging.

Have you ever looked at a confusing chart and wondered why you can’t understand what it’s telling you?  The problem is NOT you.  It is the chart.

Attend this webinar and you will see side-by-side examples of good vs bad charts, you will see the difference between old-fashioned data layout and the new theory of data presentation. And you will view some technical sections inside Excel that will help you when it’s time to design your new chart.
