The data storytelling playbook 101

Most dashboards are built to inform — not influence. That’s why leaders still ask, “So what?” In this session, you’ll learn a practical playbook that helps data teams move from static reports to stories that drive clarity, alignment, and action. We’ll walk through three key steps used by top-performing teams: Step 1 – Define the Goal and KPIs Step 2 – Uncover the Insights that Matter Step 3 – Recommend a Clear Course of Action. You’ll also learn how to position the decision-maker as the hero, use a visual planning tool (your storyboard), and apply Gen AI to streamline and scale your storytelling process. If you’re tired of creating dashboards that get ignored — this session will show you how to make your work impossible to overlook.
