Moving From Inspirational Gems to Compelling Stories
4–5 March 2021 (2–3pm ET)
Online
Information begins as a pile of numbers and letters with little organization and no implicit prioritisation. But, within that jumble of numbers and letters are gems of information. How do you turn those gems into compelling stories that can be consumed by a broad audience? This session teaches you how to identify your information gems and turn those gems into a story that will engage your audience and drive positive results.
In this two-part webinar series, you will:
- Learn how to construct data stories
- Learn the key elements of storyboarding
- Learn about the data storytelling structure
Dimensional Modelling
16-17 March 2021
Online
Excellence in dimensional modelling remains the keystone of a well-designed data warehouse/business intelligence system, regardless of your architecture.
The word “Kimball” is synonymous with dimensional modelling. The Data Warehouse Toolkit (Kimball/Ross, 2013) established an extensive portfolio of dimensional techniques and vocabulary, including conformed dimensions, slowly changing dimensions, junk dimensions, mini-dimensions, bridge tables, periodic and accumulating snapshot fact tables, and the list goes on.
Attendees of this two-day course will learn the tried and tested Kimball techniques for designing robust dimensional models to support enterprise decision making. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of dimensional modelling that they can apply directly to their workplace projects.
Data Visualizations for the Human Brain
29–30 April 2021
Online
Regardless of the tool used, there are a variety of cognitive and perceptual characteristics that can be used to improve a data visualisation. Certain visual items are processed faster and are more intuitively clear, while others can slow down your audience’s ability to understand your point or can conceal your point entirely. This webinar series teaches you how visualisations are processed by the human brain and how you can make your visualisations clearer and easier to understand.
In this two-part webinar series, participants will:
- be able to articulate the difference between pre-attentive and sequential perception, why that difference matters, and what types of visual elements take advantage of each type of processing
- be able to articulate what Gestalt Principles bring to our understanding of data visualisations
- understand techniques to make visualizations clearer and easier to comprehend.
