Data Storytelling is Hard: Let AI Make It Easy by Christopher Chin

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not the new electricity. Electricity radically transformed society 100 years ago, moving us to an increasingly automatable world no longer significantly dependent on human labor.

While AI holds the same promise of increasing automation, it actually enables us to do human labor better. Specifically, it improves the most human task of all: storytelling.

Data storytelling in particular can be one of the most challenging tasks of the value chain. All too often, we find our reports not read, our models not adopted, and our dashboards not used – stakeholders, managers, and executives see tons of numbers on a screen without any clear idea of why they matter and what to do.

Good data stories aren’t being told.

In a revolutionary paradigm shift, AI can help us be more human by empowering us to tell better stories – teaching us how to organize the information we have into a concise call to action, into an emotionally engaging narrative that can persuade, motivate, and inspire.

AI is not the new electricity. It is the new fire around which we can be better data storytellers. In this workshop, you will learn from a data storytelling and presentation trainer how to use AI to create data stories for your organization, data stories that are successful precisely because they are more human.

In this workshop, you will learn how to use AI to:

• Create stories that enable better data-driven decision making
• Avoid the most common mistakes made when presenting data and analytics
• Personalize your presentation to your audience’s needs for maximum organizational impact
