analytics based on it promise to change virtually every industry and business
function over the next decade.
But the question is if you are really using your data in a
meaningful manner.
4 Red flags indicating your data communication is not
effective

- The audience requires to analyze the chart (just like with a data table) to decipher what's going on?
- The audience is compelled to re-read the writing and still does not get the desired clarity of the message.
- The data points or insights from one paragraph/chart to another seems to be jumpy and you aren't always successful in understanding how they connect

- The key insights, conclusions, and messages are clear at first glance (for a chart) or first read (for writing)
- You can sense the invisible thread that logically connects all your data points giving it a much-needed flow and structure
- You are not giving numbers to your audience, but you are taking them on a journey
- The audience finds your charts and writing to be interesting and often agree with your conclusions
If you believe that you need a little help or guidance in transforming your data communications into Stories to make them more impactful and engaging for your audience then welcome to the world of “Data Storytelling”.
