Everyone is a stakeholder in the data game, whether you’re the owner of a local bodega, or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. But finding data insights that push your organization to the next level can sometimes feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack — having to string along the right balance of technical analysis, data assets, and effective communication. This session will guide the audience through a case study to help dismantle these roadblocks by focusing on the intersectionality between psychology and consulting frameworks that merge technical and creative approaches on how to identify relevant data tools, formulate impactful questions, and present findings using data visualization and design principles.
