June 6, 2014 - UC Berkeley AVC-CFO Rosemarie Rae kicked off IDMG Summer School 2014, a 6-part series on data integration in support of theInstitutional Data Management & Governance Initiative. The overflow crowd received anoverviewof the information to be presented in each session and learned how to participate in theData Storytelling Contest
Then Bernadette (Bernie) Geuy showed us “How to Find and Sketch the Story in Your Data.” Do you have great data but don't know how to position it for maximum impact or decision making? Have you been asked to do some analysis and want to present the information in a more compelling way? Yes? Attendees learned storytelling and sketching basics, and how to make ordinary data more meaningful to their stakeholders. Artistic talent is not a prerequisite for sketching! See anarticle(link is external)that Bernie wrote last year on sketching.
Every participant received a special IDMG gift!
