As with any great design, it’s only as good as how it’s perceived or understood by those intended to benefit from its value. As designers, how we communicate our work, and decision-making rationale is fundamental to the impact we make within any organization large or small. Understanding both the art and science of evidence-based storytelling can often mean the difference between selling a winning idea or going back to the drawing board and starting anew. Clarity of communication has never been a more important skill for designers contending with the rapid and growing complexities of the 21st century. This talk offers simple and useful tools for presenting your design solutions in clear, data-driven way.
