    Session Title:  Telling your data story with the Art + Data methodology

    Abstract: In working with hundreds of organizations over the years, Zack has noticed a common problem the majority of companies struggle with. They've invested significant time, energy and money in gaining access to their data and preparing it for use in the business. Yet they overlook one critical piece of the puzzle: developing capabilities to find and visualize the most important stories in their data.

    In this presentation you will learn:

    The three step Art + Data process. 
    10 Data Storytelling techniques. 
    Hands-on time to implement the process and techniques using a sample scenario or a real business scenario of your choice.
