Speaker: Wendy D. Lynch, Ph.D
Founder, Analytic-translator.com

Storytelling with Data

Speakers: Suchitra Gopal
Data Engineering and Analytics Consultant, West Monroe

Madison Leyens
Data Engineering and Analytics Consultant, West Monroe

Humans are designed to tell stories. However, data specialists often do not leverage this most fundamental pattern of human communication to relay critical data to key decision-makers. The presentation takes a deep dive into the components that make stories effective, with respect to human behavior, and discusses the specifics of how data can be shared more impactfully in a storytelling format. Through a series of recommendations and interactive demonstrations, attendees will learn how to hone storytelling techniques for data presentation and fine-tune their visualizations to appeal to pre-attentive processing and human-centered design principles. Stakeholders who see themselves as players in stories they witness from multiple, sensory, data-driven dimensions are much more likely to participate in a call to action than passive, disengaged observers.

Taking you on a journey through our experience navigating intricate data stories, this presentation covers the essential aspects of delivering a compelling datastory:
  • Crafting a story: Personalizing your data story using frameworks
  • Visualizing your story: Incorporating data and statistics to make the story more persuasive while remaining reliable
  • Storytelling Best Practices: Understanding pre-attentive processing cues and engaging with the audience
  • Completing your story: Leaving the audience with a call to action and a memorable story they resonate with

Attend this session to revitalize your view of data communication and harness the evocative potential of datato move organizations to greater heights of innovation through storytelling.

Keynote: Data Quality: A Key Pillar in Enterprise Analytics

Speaker: Prashanth Southekal,PhD,MBA
Managing Principal, DBP Institute

Analytics is primarily using data to derive insights to measure and improve business performance. Analytics has tremendous potential to improve the company's revenue, reduce expenses, and mitigate risk. A Mckinsey survey indicate that data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers, 6 times as likely to retain customers and 19 times more profitable. Research by MIT found that digitally mature firms are 26% more profitable than their peers. However, data quality is a vital component of analytics success, and many enterprises are plagued with poor data quality. A HBR study found that just 3% of the data in a business enterprise meets quality standards. Research analyst firm Gartner found that 27% of data in the world’s top companies is flawed. So, what can enterprise do to improve data quality? In this keynote speech, Dr.Southekal will share 3 key strategies or solutions on how organizations can acquire quality data for analytics and derive improved business results. This talk is based on Dr.Southekal’s latest book DATA QUALITY: EMPOWERING BUSINESSES WITH ANALYTICS AND AI which is published by Wiley.

How can we build and deploy better AI that's informed by societal values? In this talk we'll cover the essentials of what you need to know about AI ethics. We'll also explore some "data dilemmas" and discuss how data management professionals can help organizations make better choices about the data used in AI/ML projects.
