Data can help you communicate your message more clearly and explore the evidence for and against the points you are making, so you can confirm your ideas with evidence—or adjust them to fit the evidence—before sharing them with others. Data is a fantastic raw resource for powering change in an organization, but all too often the people working in those organizations don’t have the necessary skills to communicate with data effectively. With this practical book, subject matter experts will learn ways to develop strong, persuasive points when presenting data to different groups in their organizations.

Author Carl Allchin shows anyone how to find data sources and develop data analytics, and teaches those with more data expertise how to visualize data to convey findings to key business leaders more effectively. Once both your business and data experts possess the skills to work with data and interpret its significance, you can deal with questions and challenges in departments across your organization. Learn the fundamental data skills required to work with data. Use data visualization to influence change in your organization. Learn how to apply data techniques to effectively work with data end to end. Understand how to communicate data points clearly and persuasively. Appreciate why different stakeholders often have divergent needs and views.

Top Reviews (Amazon)

“An excellent book for anyone interested in data analytics. Really good insight into Tableau and its implementation in the work place, I learnt a lot and would definitely recommend this book”.—James & Soph

“Simply put, it was clear and well formatted, with little nuggets of wisdom on every page. Would especially recommend Chapter 9 as that actually helps you apply what you have learnt to real-world scenarios. The book was a pleasant read and easy to digest. I think it achieves its purpose in laying the groundwork for anyone (no matter their experience with data) to engage, understand, analyse and then argue with data.”—Suchira Peiris
