Data Storytelling & Visualisation
The complete workflow from raw data to decision-ready story. Chart selection, narrative arcs, and executive-ready visuals that make numbers land.
The framework
Data Storytelling
A framework for structuring data-driven communication: lead with the insight (not the data), support with evidence, and design every visual to answer one question. Combines the Pyramid Principle, action-title method, and chart selection logic.
How you'll learn
Text-first. Practice-heavy. No video lectures.
15-minute text lessons
Short, dense reading you can finish between meetings — not hour-long video lectures.

Apply the framework to a realistic scenario, right in the module where you learned it.
Quizzes & assessments
Check your judgment, not just your memory — most questions are situational.

About this course
Having the right analysis is not enough. This course covers how to structure data into a narrative that moves a senior audience from information to action. You will learn the Pyramid Principle applied to data, how to choose the right chart for the right claim, and how to build a presentation that answers the question before the audience asks it.
The project: Build a Decision-Ready Data Story
Take a dataset from a real business scenario and build a 5-slide executive presentation that leads with the recommendation, supports it with exactly the right data, and anticipates the three most likely objections.
