Communication in a Big Data world - Personal impact skills for technical people:
Studies show that high performing companies know this and place emphasis on developing the soft skills of their technical staff. Yet, these are often neglected in traditional training.
With the rise of Big Data, communication and collaboration are more important than ever.
Organisations need more collaboration between finance, computer science, project managers and business analysts to take advantage of the opportunities.
Our courses and coaching are about filling the gap between technical training and business needs. This is not generic skills training, but it was specifically developed for technical experts who want to communicate complex data, sophisticated concepts and models in ways to provide a clear message and direction to their audience.
What we cover in the course:
- What signature communication styles are and how to develop your own signature style to gain greater influence
- How to use storytelling to make complex issues accessible and memorable
- How to craft a technical presentation to convey an engaging and compelling message
- Apply the principles of data visualisation to support their message.
- Choosing the right tools to turn your data into information
- How to use dashboards and other tools as hand-outs (and never, ever use your slides)
- How to turn a presentations into a two-way conversation with your audience to build lasting, influential relationships
Benefits attending the course:
- Identify tools to help others see the wood from the trees
- Improve your ability to prove real performance improvement
- Enhance your credibility with key decision makers by communicating your messages with impact
- Expand your sphere of influence outside the professional silo of your expertise
Who should attend:
- Managers and Senior Managers in Engineering, Science, Financial and other technical disciplines
