Abstract
Communication is one of the most sought after skills in data analysts and data scientists. However, what is meant with data communication goes beyond the presentation of data in good looking charts. Effective data communication, or better data storytelling, engages the audience and drives outcomes. In this talk I will go over the principles of story telling and how these can be translated for data storytelling, that resonate with the audience and drive outcomes. We will analyse some examples of successful storytelling as well as some clumsy counterparts. Finally we will apply the learned principles to construct a data story from a dataset.
