Speaking Data, The Language of Impact: A Simulated Project Experience
8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Many learning professionals today have good intentions but do not necessarily have the confidence and the experience to speak data. Because data is like a language. You can talk a lot and still say nothing relevant. That’s why before you analyze, measure, evaluate, or build a measurement strategy, you must practice speaking data, the language of impact.
This hands-on, immersive workshop with Meg Fairchild and Zsolt Olah was all about speaking the language of impact and communicating with data. The workshop was application-focused and promoted social interactions. If you have bad memories of attending math and stats classes, this session would have been great for you! You’ll never see data in the same way. Learn more
