Overview

“Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted” – Albert Einstein.

Data and storytelling can seem like somewhat opposing topics. However, in truth, they’re just two sides of the same coin.

While data provides fact, transparency and accountability, stories are how we make sense of the world.

In conjunction they build purpose-driven narratives that speak to stakeholders.

This workshop is storytelling training for emerging and established leaders who want to harness data-driven narrative to make an impact and drive change. It’s a highly interactive program focusing on knowledge and skills you can apply at work straight away.

Who is it for?

This data storytelling workshop is designed for:

  • early career public sector, local government and not-for-profit managers
  • leaders in the public sector or not-for-profit organisations looking to refresh their skills.

Learning outcomes

Throughout the program you’ll build a greater understanding of the need for – and challenges of – data-driven story. You’ll learn to:

  • identify the forces that influence the policy cycle
  • find, review and gather existing and new data
  • find, review and elicit story from a range of sources
  • explore how data visualisation and storytelling techniques can bring the facts to life
  • integrate storytelling with data to establish credibility and engage audiences
  • understand why communication must serve a broader purpose
  • communicate data-driven narrative for maximum impact
  • embed data and story into policy work.
Faculty
