Course description
Business Insights: Storytelling with Data
Learn how to turn your data into powerful fact-based selling stories. Utilize a proven process to find and effectively communicate your ideas in a compelling story.
The PowerPoint slide is often the canvas in which you communicate your story. It is the result of your analysis. But did you find the full meaning of the data? Did you write a powerful and concise story? Did you use best-in-class data visualization tools that support and speed the understanding of the story?
This program is designed to create “black belt” certified experts that have proven, by scoring 70% or higher on a 3-hour proctored exam, that they can analyze data, extrapolate the most relevant insights and apply best-in-class data visualization techniques to communicate the key insights to internal or external customers.

Most organizations consider data a strategic asset, yet fail to build their team’s skills to effectively use data for competitive advantage. Large PowerPoint decks typically regurgitate what the numbers are and fail to communicate what the numbers mean. Delta teaches professionals to mine data for golden nuggets and transform the insights into short and powerful selling stories. This results in high-value business conversations that improve the speed and quality of decisions.
