Make Your Numbers Talk, Day 3: Special Tricks, Special Situations

Wednesday, March 15, 2017

10:30 a.m. Mountain time (MT)

Program Description

For every consulting professional, communicating effectively is critical, and numbers are often the most important information you’re communicating. Moreover, you may well be communicating to an audience that’s diverse, busy, sometimes unskilled, and sometimes hostile. Just like words, your numbers tell a story. This five-day webinar series offers a completely different perspective on the process of telling that story—one that will help you communicate your most important information more clearly and effectively.

This is a combination of two short sessions: (1) Using ratios to add meaning and context to your raw numbers. Commonly called key indicators, KIs, or indexes, among many other names, these are usually nothing more than one number divided by another. But intelligently, and imaginatively chosen ratios, are a powerful numbers communication tool. (2) For many professionals, PowerPoint presentations are their most important and visible opportunity to get their point across. In this session, we look at the tips and tricks that make audiences appreciate even the most numbers-heavy PowerPoint presentation, and help you avoid the worst presentation mistakes.

Attendees will also receive suitable-for-framing copies of (a) “The Art of Quantation,”—the practices that will ensure effective numbers presentation (the “thou shalts”)—and (b) “The Deadly Sins of Quantation” (the “thou shalt nots”).
