MindSpeaking: From Data to Business – The Complete Training Program

Create Bigger Impact Through the Art of Data Storytelling

Data science isn’t just a technical term – it is also a human science. People skills make all the difference when it comes to success. The challenge that data professionals face, however, is to effectively communicate their insights with stakeholders. In order to bridge the gap between business and data, your team needs more than just analytical thinking to convince you of a project’s merits. What they need is a compelling story that inspires and motivates, using data as evidence. In this interactive training, Gilbert Eijkelenboom builds on his introductory session, Communication Skills for Data Professionals, to bring you a step-by-step approach to better business understanding. During three separate workshops, he will teach your data scientists how to be assertive, translate their findings for stakeholders, and employ a powerful framework to persuade people to act on their insights. The training program includes a total number of 3 sessions of 4 hours, spread out over 3 months with a maximum capacity of 12 participants.
