Individual dataviz training
Training on how to translate IT technical data into a clear and compelling rationale for resource allocation
The problem
A team manager at a large IT corporation needed to learn how to present data for HR's budget approval, emphasizing the urgent need for additional staff due to the current team not being able to prioritize long-term solutions over daily tasks.
The goal was to teach this person how to transform complex technical data into a clear, concise, and persuasive presentation that could be easily understood by HR managers and senior executives. We focused our meetings on asking the right questions for relevant data collection and describing the basics of visual hierarchy.
