In this course, you will explore the three fundamental dimensions of Data Storytelling: data, visualisation, and narrative. Together, we will examine how these dimensions form the foundation of Data Storytelling. This includes principles of visualisation, storytelling structure, and different techniques that can be used in the narrative itself. You will learn when it is appropriate—and when it is not—to apply Data Storytelling in an organisational context. Additionally, you will develop skills in creating Data Stories based on data from your own organisation and operations.
