Storytelling With Data - Make Meaning Out Of Information and Data
In the age of information, competing and winning isn't about tendering more information it’s about making sense of the information we have. Through storytelling you illuminate decision-making while transforming data into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom.
What sets apart influential and relevant individuals in an age of information saturation? Their ability, to become what their teams, companies and customers desperately require; a guide through the dark forest, a signal among the noise, a beacon in the fog.
Jason Ashlock, Lead Consultant at Frontier Press
