Workshop Stream – Storyteller
What is it: Once your data is clean how can you tell stories with it? What is the data trying to tell you? Learn how you can use Tableau to visualise your data whether for managers or for that important report. Tableau is one of a number of visualisation tools that can be used to make sense of your data once you become a proficient storyteller.
Who is it for: People who would like to turn numbers into meaning and anyone interested in visually presenting data.
