Storytelling with Data to Advance Technology Strategy
In recent years, advanced technologies like AI have driven unparalleled innovation, while also demanding vast amounts of data. Yet stories are still needed to transform data into impactful narratives. As Daniel Kahneman said, “No one ever made a decision because of a number. They need a story.” In this session, we will explore storytelling frameworks and craft our own stories using work-related situations. Participants will learn how to weave data into authentic and impactful stories. Bring your creativity! Use your own case studies and data, or example sets we provide.
The Why: Stories are not just for children; they play an essential role in conveying context, depth, and understanding. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, the art of storytelling is dwindling. The pressure to deliver cutting-edge solutions rooted in data can cause us to focus more on the technological advances of our solutions and hard data rather than the human narrative and experience they should embody.
Key Takeaways:
