Programme Overview
Data has the power to influence and bring about meaningful change, but to enact change, it is not enough to just explain your analysis and support it with data. It needs to be communicated effectively, in the form of a meaningful story that resonates with your audience. This is where visualisation plays a big role.
In this virtual classroom programme*, you will learn how to appreciate the power of visualising data and how to craft meaningful visualisations that communicate your message more effectively. Through hands-on activities using Tableau, and group discussions, discover how to present your data with impact to bring about meaningful change.
*This is a foundational programme on data visualisation using Tableau, suitable for officers who wish to get an appreciation of data visualisation.
