Data Story-Listening And Data Storytelling: 2 Skills You’ll Need For Effective Decision-Making
People hear statistics, but they feel stories
In a world where organizations are overwhelmed by data but desperate for meaning, Data Storytelling helps connect the dots. Still, it takes alert leaders to listen to the data and derive valuable meaning from it.
While Data Storytelling is a core skill for Leaders, Data Story-Listening is no less so.
Fast forward to today, and this has become a business imperative. Listening to the stories that data tells unlocks the true potential of insights and moves leaders to action.
Substantiate Your Business with Data Evidence
Wrong data sets or inaccurate information acquired in business processes may impact the organization, resulting in the following:
- Exposure to risk and inefficiencies that impacts profitability
- Poor decision making, strategies and goal setting
- A decline in revenue and sales opportunities caused by misleading insights
- Missed opportunities to a competitor with better data analytics capabilities
- Reputational damage to the company
Don’t let poor data analysis compromise your business intelligence.
Business data have many vanity metrics that are not necessarily meaningful to your organization. Business leaders have to know how to navigate the data presented in reports and find the most important message from the data bank you have.
With Data Story-Listening, you will be able to recognize and steer away from the noise and focus on the critical actionable insights.
