Insights on Data Analytics:

• Data analytics involves examining and interpreting data to extract insights that can help businesses make informed decisions.
• It requires a combination of technical skills, such as programming and statistical analysis, and soft skills like communication and problem-solving.
• There are different types of data analytics, including descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics.
• Companies can use data analytics to optimize their operations, improve their products and services, and gain a competitive advantage.

Insights on Data Visualization:

• Data visualization is an important aspect of data storytelling, where the goal is to communicate insights from data in a compelling and understandable way.
• Effective data storytelling goes beyond visualizing data; it involves understanding the context and using the data to tell a story that resonates with the audience.
• Less is more when it comes to data visualization. Avoid overwhelming the audience with too much information or flashy graphics.
• Use a default colour palette and reserve brighter colours for highlighting important data points. Contrast is also important.
• Leave breathing room in slides and avoid overcrowding them with text or details. Point attention to the important parts.
• Understand the audience and what they care about. Tailor the data visualization to their needs and interests.
