Overview
In the data-driven economy, mastering data visualization and storytelling is crucial for informed decision-making. Governments accumulate vast amounts of data daily, making it a valuable resource.
However, handling and extracting actionable insights from these complex datasets is challenging. Leading a data team to responsibly inform organizational or political decisions adds another layer of difficulty. Data visualization, coupled with data storytelling, has grown exponentially due to the human brain’s pre-programmed response to visual cues.
Data-driven decisions in government, improved operational efficiencies, and citizen outcomes depend on data leadership. This course offers essential theories, tools, and techniques for establishing a successful data visualization and storytelling capability through lectures, group exercises, and expert feedback.
