What is the Data Storytelling for Digital Transformation course about?

You're technically fluent and already using visualization tools, but decision-makers still miss the point. Reports get buried. Dashboards go ignored. The story behind the data isn't landing, because it's not framed for impact. Without storytelling precision, even the clearest insights fail to move people. You need a repeatable method to turn analysis into advocacy, especially in complex, evolving institutions.
