The beginning, the middle and the ends: data, stories and time – James Richardson, Business Analytics Strategist, Qlik

Data storytelling is more than simple communication. It's about how we engage with data, collaborate and take action on insights together. This keynote will cover how we use visual and narrative forms in the context of the most limited analytic resource any of us will ever have, time. It will explore how we slice time and data in a complex, multi device environment for the benefit of our organizations and ourselves.
