United Way of Greater Houston - 50 Waugh Dr., Houston, TX 77007

Data is an essential element in the world of work. Yet often it’s not easy to measure the results of the work we do as learning and development professionals. The use of data in the classroom and in online learning can enhance the credibility of your content, adding an element of authenticity to the stories you tell to teach. In the boardroom, data can help you objectively show the value of your work to the organization, whether you are an employee, contractor, or consultant. Join us to empower yourself to demystify the world of data and measure what matters to you, your learners, and the decision-makers who employ you.

Learner Objectives:

• Describe the ways in which data can help you tell stories, in the classroom or the boardroom
• Discuss ways to quantify the quality, value, and impact of your work
• Determine an effective way to display your data to achieve your goal
• Develop context for your data display, so it tells your story, even when you’re not in the room.
