Make Your Numbers Talk, Day 5: Tying It All Together

Friday, March 17, 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.

We conclude the week with two soup-to-nuts case studies of numbers presentation that emphasize all the the fundamentals we've covered. The first case is an example from the M&A world, where a software company that's an acquisition target needs to put its best foot forward, but as a starting point has only an incomprehensible pile of numbers from its sales forecasting system. The second looks at the recent history of political parties in the U.S., and examines how all the presentation tactics we've covered help us make sense of the ebbs and flows of the Republican and Democratic parties in Congress.

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”).
