From Data to Dialoque - Storytelling with Impact

Data as a lever for insights and decisions

Creating a data-driven culture is not just abouttechnology or tools, but about how we bring data to life. Bringing a story based on data helps us make complex insights accessible and compelling. This is how you help bridge the gap between analysis and action. It is a process that helps organisations not just look at data, but work with it from a context that everyone understands.

How storytelling can transform your organisation

By learning how to choose relevant visuals, eliminate clutter and draw your audience's attention to the core of your message, you can take communication to the next level. With the right techniques and skills, you will build stories that resonate, motivate and inspire.

Our approach

• The training consists of 2 intensive training days, in which theory and practice go hand in hand. We combine a clear theoretical foundation with interactive exercises, constantly starting from the concrete challenges of the participants.
• During intervision, you immediately apply the principles and concepts taught to your own context, making what you have learned immediately useful in practice.
• The programme also offers room for exchanging experiences with other professionals, which provides extra inspiration and learning opportunities.
• In addition, your learning process is supported via an online learning platform, where you get access to additional material and assignments.
• Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of participation.
