SWEN422 (Human Computer Interaction) Guest Lecture

Have you ever been asked to asked tell a story with your data but weren't sure where to start? Many books touch on the subject of storytelling but few go into detail on how to actually do this. Data storytelling serves as a bridge, connecting the world of data analytics with the realm of business stakeholders.

This talk will help you:

• Understand how your work contributes to business success, enabling you to communicate, collaborate, and influence within your organisation.
• Build empathy for your audience, making your data storytelling resonate. - Find story building blocks from your data analysis, understanding what data is part of what story to help you communicate a clear message. - Write an engaging and compelling data narrative that weaves data around context and explanation. - Use visuals to convey your data story with maximum impact, emphasising communication over aesthetics.

Whether you're a data analyst or simply someone who wants to better communicate data, The Data Storyteller's Handbook (https://www.roguepenguin.co.nz/book) is your ultimate guide to creating business impact by telling data stories and a guide to becoming a skilled Data Storyteller.
