Data Visualization Training
Visualizing data — designing it simply, aesthetically, and with a well-structured story — is hard. It’s hard for professional data visualizers; it’s certainly hard for analysts, researchers, communication experts, and anyone who is immersed in data but not trained in design.
That’s why we started our data visualization training workshops.
The Datalabs Agency is a creative data visualization and visual analytics agency. Since 2013, we’ve trained staff members in companies and government agencies in data visualization and visual storytelling, both remotely and on-site, anywhere in the world. Since then, our data visualizers have spoken at conferences, engaged in one-to-one training with C-Suite executives, and have held workshops for thousands of people.
Datalabs offers a data visualization basics workshop that’s perfect for everyone just starting out in data design and visual storytelling — we call it, “Introduction to Data Visualization: Tools & Techniques”. From there, we offer additional workshops that incorporate the teachings and exercises in workshops focusing on dashboard, report, and presentation design.
These workshops focus on intermediate-level training for government agencies, marketing divisions, and on specific software like Microsoft PowerBI and generative AI.
Our agency is often engaged to provide on-going data visualization training for mid- to large-sized corporations or for government agencies at every level: Federal, State, and Municipal. Data visualization is evolving fast, and access to data viz resources and tools has never been greater. Still, the need for data visualization skills in areas like reporting, business intelligence, and visual communication is growing day by day. Thinking more strategically about data is now a necessity. But data is not easily understood if it’s not visual; if it’s not communicated through a story.
That’s why the Datalabs Agency consults into transformation projects. It’s why we assist corporations undergoing disruption and why communications & strategy teams seek us out to be a part of the needed change. That’s exactly why executives hire us to train them and their staff in the best practice data visualization principles.
Datalabs can provide data visualization training in many forms. Just let us know if you’d like us to offer training as part of your organization’s ongoing, business-as-usual employee education. We can also contribute as a part of a larger group of outside consultants (we play nicely with others!). Finally, the Datalabs Agency can offer this training remotely via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Webex or on-site workshops, bringing our expertise directly to your offices.
Every employee who works with data or who is charged with communicating insights should have a background in data visualization. Our fantastic data designers at Datalabs have enjoyed training others with what we know. Our excitement will turn into your employees’ excitement. Leaving behind a passion is one of our aims with our data visualization training. Helping to develop the skills to design simplified and impactful stories is another. From there, Datalabs can stay on call to assist when and where we’re needed.
Let us know what you think and how we can help your organization.
