Data Visual Analytics - How to Increase and Improve your Use of Data in Decision Making
InformatiqueDescription
Description
This will be an interactive workshop where participants will learn from
each other’s experiences as well as those of the facilitator.
To
create these discussions, participants will work in small breakout
groups discussing key questions or working on case studies. Review
sessions with the whole group will not only summarize key learnings
points, but will give participants an opportunity to practice data
storytelling and presentation skills. Video’s as well as demonstration
of some tools will help illustrate the topics covered.
The
workshop will be run in sessions on consecutive days so as to allow some
reflection on the learnings made, as well as adapt the workshop to the
specific expectations and needs of the participants.
