Corporate data storytelling training & team workshops (original) (raw)

What if my team is small?

If you're part of a small team or would like a few colleagues to learn from us, check out our Public Workshops for individuals.

Do participants receive books?

For logistical reasons, only attendees of in-person sessions will receive a book. Regardless of the learning environment, all attendees will receive detailed handouts summarizing workshop teachings, customized makeovers, and links to learning materials to continue their storytelling journeys.

What tools do you use?

We’re tool-agnostic. Outside of using Zoom for virtual sessions, we emphasize low-tech approaches to build the foundational thinking behind effective data communication. Paper, pen, and sticky notes are the primary tools used to practice the concepts we teach during the workshop. Our view is that visualization tools and AI can support and accelerate the work, but they can’t replace the necessary thinking behind clear, actionable communication.

Who teaches the team workshops?

All sessions are instructed by SWD data storytellers. They have all worked with data throughout their varied careers, and have been trained to expertly deliver workshops by SWD CEO, Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. In-person workshops at your location are led by one or two data storytellers; virtual workshops are co-facilitated remotely by two data storytellers.
