Summary

Don't simply show your data - tell a story with it!

Storytelling with Data teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization and how to communicate effectively with data. You'll discover the power of storytelling and the way to make data a pivotal point in your story. The lessons in this illuminative text are grounded in theory but made accessible through numerous real-world examples - ready for immediate application to your next graph or presentation.

Storytelling is not an inherent skill, especially when it comes to data visualization, and the tools at our disposal don't make it any easier. This book demonstrates how to go beyond conventional tools to reach the root of your data and how to use your data to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Specifically, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand the importance of context and audience
  • Determine the appropriate type of graph for your situation
  • Recognize and eliminate the clutter clouding your information
  • Direct your audience's attention to the most important parts of your data
  • Think like a designer and utilize concepts of design in data visualization
  • Leverage the power of storytelling to help your message resonate with your audience

Together, the lessons in this book will help you turn your data into high-impact visual stories that stick with your audience. Rid your world of ineffective graphs, one exploding 3D pie chart at a time. There is a story in your data - Storytelling with Data will give you the skills and power to tell it!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Less is More

As me being minimalist I find out that data visualization is much easier when less is more and that’s exactly what I took from this book. Get rid of all distractions, nonsense and fluff from your charts and then tell them the story.

A must read for Business Analysts Everywhere!

If you are a Business analyst starting out this book is full of useful information and practical examples of how to visual your data and get your point across. And even if you are not a Business Analyst, in my my experience most jobs have an element of communicating your data within your company, this book will help you do just that. Loved it.

Good but basic introduction

Good book, well delivered but most useful for new analysts. As an experienced Analysis Manager all I took away was that I was already doing everything correctly.

Read by the author

This can be an introductory book to know some visualisation principles, but you'd better learn some programmable tools to produce your own graphics.

Obvious tips set out in a book

Clear summary of how to present data in a compelling and interesting way. The points seem obvious when laid out but they need to be said in order for most people to apply them.
