The Best Data Storytelling Advice I’ve Ever Gotten with Scott Berinato

This episode is sponsored by the  CIO Innovation Insider Offense and Defense Community. My guest this week is Scott Berinato, author of Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations, and Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review. In this interview we discuss bridging the world of data science and the art of data visualization. Scott and I focus on how we make good use of Data Visualization skills that I believe are critical for CIOs to have. Listen to the interview to learn more on how to be a better data visualization guy and methods of being a good data storyteller. Major Take-Aways From This Episode:  Why to avoid “click+vis” The importance of incorporating prototyping, sketching, and charting your data visualizations The key to presenting data is not the data or the perfect design, it is the design thinking process Automatic output of data tools is not enough to convey your ideas How to overcome obstacles with conveying ideas + concepts; How to avoid being intimidated Tools Landscape: plot.ly and exploratory The idea of “the power of a beautiful constraint” What you barely need is data; you need to know what the data is telling you (@23:00) When are you putting yourself at a disadvantage with DOT plots It isn’t the slide quota that is important for your presentation, it is the amount of information on a slide that is important Best Methods for Visual Storytelling:   Maximum one or two ideas per slide Wrong Metric: The number of slides Correct Metric: Ideas per visual field/ slide  About Scott Berinato Scott Berinato is the author of Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations.

Neal award (the "Pulitzers of the business press") for best feature article of the year and two-time winner of the Grand Neal Award for the year's best overall contribution to the business press.
