Data Analytics: Dashboards vs. Data Stories
About this course
Data is everywhere in modern organizations, but most of it is going nowhere. When analysts build dashboards without clarifying who they are for, or present findings without a clear recommendation, data loses its leverage at exactly the moment it should be driving a decision. The analysts who close that gap, knowing when to reach for a dashboard, when to build a data story, and how to move fluently between the two, are the ones shaping strategy rather than just reporting on it. In this course, you'll diagnose the structural and communication failures that keep organizations from acting on their own data. You'll design interactive Power BI dashboards tailored to specific stakeholder needs, construct narratives anchored in context, conflict, and resolution, and select visuals that make problems visible rather than decorative. You'll also build data story conclusions that close with specific, evidence-backed recommendations rather than open-ended summaries. By the end of this course, you'll select the right format, dashboard or data story, for any analytics challenge you face, and combine both into a repeatable workflow that moves organizations from raw numbers to confident, well-supported decisions.
