Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Exploratory analysis is what you do to understand the data and figure out what might be noteworthy or interesting to highlight to others. When you are at the point of communicating your analysis to your audience, you should be in the explanatory space, meaning you have a specific thing you want to explain.
#2 When it comes to explanatory analysis, you must first identify your audience. You should then be clear about what you want them to know or do. Finally, you must use data to help make your point.
#3 The more specific you can be about who your audience is, the better position you will be in for successful communication. Avoid general audiences, such as internal and external stakeholders or anyone who might be interested.
#4 When writing a email, letter, or blog post, consider how your audience will perceive you. Do you have a established relationship with them. Do they already trust you as an expert, or do you need to work to establish credibility.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Exploratory analysis is what you do to understand the data and figure out what might be noteworthy or interesting to highlight to others. When you are at the point of communicating your analysis to your audience, you should be in the explanatory space, meaning you have a specific thing you want to explain.

#2

When it comes to explanatory analysis, you must first identify your audience. You should then be clear about what you want them to know or do. Finally, you must use data to help make your point.

#3

The more specific you can be about who your audience is, the better position you will be in for successful communication. Avoid general audiences, such as internal and external stakeholders or anyone who might be interested.

#4

When writing a email, letter, or blog post, consider how your audience will perceive you. Do you have a established relationship with them. Do they already trust you as an expert, or do you need to work to establish credibility.

#5

When presenting data, you should always want your audience to know or do something. If you can't concisely articulate that, you should rethink whether you need to communicate in the first place. Suggesting possible next steps can be a great way to get the conversation going.

#6

The words and phrases you use to start your speech will largely determine how your audience will react to you.

#7

The method you use to communicate with your audience has implications on several factors, including the amount of control you have over how the audience takes in the information and the level of detail that needs to be explicit. With a live presentation, you are in full control.

#8

The ideal world would be to have completely different slides for a live presentation and a written document. In reality, due to time and other constraints, it is often the same product that is created to meet both needs.

#9

When crafting a communication, it is important to identify an audience and focus on what they need and want. The data you collect should support your case.

#10

When you are working on a communication that is at the request of someone else, you may not have all of the information needed to make the best decision. Following are some questions you can ask to get the required information.

#11

You must be able to boil the so-what down to a single, concise statement. This is difficult, as it is often more challenging to be concise than to be verbose.

#12

The 3-minute story is a method of creating a presentation that allows you to bypass reliance on slides or visuals. It is useful in the situation where your boss asks you what you’re working on or if you find yourself in an elevator with one of your stakeholders and want to give her the quick rundown.

#13

The Big Idea is a single sentence that articulates your unique point of view, conveys what’s at stake, and is a complete sentence. It must be a complete sentence to be effective. When you’ve articulated your story this clearly and concisely, creating content for your communication becomes much easier.

#14

Storyboarding is the most important step in ensuring the communication you create is on point. It is a visual outline of the content you plan to create. It can be changed as you work through the details, but establishing a structure early on will help you succeed.

#15

When it comes to explanatory analysis, you need to be able to concisely articulate exactly who you want to communicate with and what you want to convey before you start building content.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

When you have just a couple of numbers to share, simple text can be a great way to communicate. When you have more data that you want to show, generally a table or graph is the way to go.

#2

When you use a table in a live presentation, consider whether you are losing too much by doing so.
