Andy Kirk, author of Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design ""Kat Greenbrook's The Data Storyteller's Handbook is an insightful, practical resource for anyone looking to build and tell data stories. She does a great job of clarifying the purpose of data stories and provides straightforward guidance on how to craft stories with data."" Brent Dykes, author of Effective Data Storytelling: How to drive change with data, narrative and visuals ""This is an excellent book for the challenge of converting data into a well-told story because Kat Greenbrook has exactly the critical mind needed for the job."" Randy Olson, author of Houston We Have A Narrative: Why Science Needs Story ""Across successive waves of ""data democratisation"", a gap has persisted between technological capabilities and their business impact. To be blunt, more data and more powerful tools have had, at best, uneven impact on the quality of decisions. The easy way out is to buy more technology, but in this book Kat Greenbrook offers a diagnosis and remedy to close the gap: data storytelling. As Kat explains, stories are a powerful conduit for increasing the business impact of data because they reduce noise and focus decision-makers on what matters. And finding ""what matters"" is not merely an exercise in data analysis but an exploration of audiences, power, and incentives...an intensely human activity. If it sounds daunting, the methodology presented, through vivid examples and easy-to-follow frameworks, breaks this challenge down into clear and repeatable steps. And the best thing of all is data storytelling can benefit everyone working with data, regardless of skills, tools or experience!"" Shaun McGirr, Chief AI & Data Officer"
