Scope:
Data visualisationHow do we communicate our data findings to our stakeholders in an accessible, easy to understand manner? A four-hour workshop into the basics of data visualisation design, communication, and storytelling.
About the project
The Ministry of Trade and Industry’s Futures, Strategy and Plans Division frequently utilises data in their daily work. They wanted to understand how they could make better use of data repositories accessible to them, but also communicate their findings better internally and to the public.
The challenge
The Futures, Strategy and Plans Division team came from a variety of job functions and backgrounds, with differing experiences and comfort level with data. Our challenge was to provide an understanding and insight into data storytelling practices that was applicable across the board, while still allowing them room to add value to their processes and work.
Our creative solution
Our data storytelling workshop was designed for four hours, with a mixture of taught principles and guidelines, alongside hands-on activities for practice. In groups of four or five, they had the chance to redesign a piece of public service data-driven communication and put what they learnt into practice.
