Storytelling with data
Turn charts into a story that drives decisions.
📖 Key ideas
- Start with the audience and the decision they must make.
- Structure: context, conflict (insight), resolution (recommendation).
- One message per chart; annotate key points.
- Use a logical sequence of visuals.
- End with a clear call to action.
💡 Real-life example: Data storytelling is a guided tour: you don't just show rooms, you explain why they matter.
