DAMA Calgary July Talk:

"Telling your data story" with Scott Taylor

Speaker:  Scott Taylor (“The Data Whisperer”), Principal Consultant for MetaMeta Consulting

Title:  Telling Your Data Story With the 3Vs: Vocabulary, Voice and Vision

Abstract:

Data Leaders must create a compelling narrative to evangelize their Data Management programs and secure long-term support from enterprise stakeholders and business leadership. In this session, we will cover:

• Why you need a Data Management narrative vs other Data Storytelling and Data Literacy Efforts
  
• Why Data Management is Macro-Trend agnostic
  
• Leveraging the 3Vs : Vocabulary, Voice and Vision
  

Data Storytelling is probably the hottest non-technical trend in the technology-related space. But it does not directly support data management because it is focused on analytics or telling stories with data. So, it is time to expand the realm of Data Storytelling to recognize the role of data management by telling stories about data.
