Keynote The power of data storytelling – how to influence actions and accelerate decision-making
With all the hype around big data, many organisations struggle to create useful and intelligent analytics that deliver true business insights. Plagued by immutable data cultures that harbour silo reporting practices, organisations must find innovative ways to re-engage their users and exploit their data to stay ahead of their competitors.
One of the most effective ways to create a data-informed culture is by using the power of visual storytelling to communicate your data and influence your users’ actions. Science has proven that by tapping into the emotional decision-making of the human mind, you can drive high user engagement, ownership and adoption. In this keynote, you will learn why data storytellers are the future of data and how you can embrace this skillset within your organisation. You will also discover how to build actionable KPIs for your business and get buy-in from your colleagues to more effectively gather, present and utilise data for decision-making.
