The challenge

WGEA deal with a lot of data – a world leading data set – and wanted their staff to confidently navigate data visualisation and storytelling, whilst also setting consistent standards for this across the organisation. The guiding aim of training was to empower their staff with a better understanding of how to communicate data in a way that is engaging and simple for the general public to understand. This would also help with a more impactful digital portrayal of the organisational mission.

Our solution

CCE were able to deliver a modified version of our Data Visualisation and Storytelling Course, over a number of days, to suit the availability of WGEA employees. The course was broken down into short sessions, so that specific examples and case studies could be delivered to separate departments within the WGEA.

The course was ultimately suited to the knowledge and learning requirements of engagement teams, education teams, and data and research teams. CCE also delivered a key principles session, as well as a working ideas session, to the entire WGEA, which instilled the relevant knowledge prior to commencing more department-specific case studies.

The outcome

This course reaffirmed the WGEA’s teams’ goal of good data visualisation practices and better storytelling for the general public.

Follow up interviews confirmed the WGEA team found the training valuable, particularly with respect to increased agency in critically appraising graphs, charts and other data visualisation tools. Team members of varying abilities attended the course and reported it was well run, allowing all team members to learn and take part.

After the course, the team worked together, pulling together a cheat sheet based on principles taught in the course that can be applied to day-to-day analysis and storytelling. The course was therefore highly practical and allowed participants to utilise the skills they learned right away.

" James was great. He presented in a very neutral and non-judgmental style, whilst still offering constructive ways of thinking about different opinions and views. His friendly and good sense of humor made the course enjoyable and made it pleasant to participate and have a good laugh "
