storytelling with data: #31 presenting virtually with Andy Cotgreave

In this episode, we talk to Andy Cotgreave, Technical Evangelist at Tableau, about the role of Data Visualization and presenting data effectively. We discuss the significance of dashboards in understanding data, and how organisations can work to become more data literate. We also cover the debate around 'soft skills', including what they contribute to the industry, and why these skills should be considered equally fundamental to data use as technical skills.

Andy Kriebel

On the show this week, we have Andy Kriebel, Head Coach at The Information Lab, and Andy Cotgreave, Technical Evangelist at Tableau, to talk about their lovely social web series, #MakeoverMonday. This is how #MakeoverMonday works, according to Andy and Andy: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.” The series has recently gained a lot of traction: they have seen more than 2,800 entries from 470 participants, and will soon complete a whole set of entries for the year. On the show we talk about how they got started with the project, how the series works, some interesting solutions they have received, and what is coming next. Enjoy the show!
