Data is crucial to the success of the public service. It’s essential to get the right data, at the right time, in the right way.
But the journey doesn’t stop there: once you have the data you need, it’s even more important to be able to communicate it effectively.
Watch this free online workshop to get a hands-on, interactive approach to creating data visualisations in the public service. You’ll learn fundamental tips and tricks to help you communicate data clearly, and you’ll have the chance to design your own visualisation, using widely available tools like Microsoft Excel.
