Business Applications Certification Overview
Data storytelling builds compelling narratives that have a basis in complex data and analytics: these will help tell the story, which in turn will influence and inform a particular audience.
Data storytelling provides deeper insights and supporting evidence for given hypotheses through visualisations like graphs and charts. It can simplify complicated information so your audience can engage with your content and make critical decisions quicker and more confidently.
So if you are a data specialist and need to present the data in your role, this is the course for you.
In this course, you will become more confident and curious about using data in your day-to-day activities and understand the role data can play in creating a data story.
Examples, demonstrations and exercises may use common applications, including Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
