Presenting Data
Presented by Ed Swires-Hennessy
This one day course is the foundation to all presentations of statistical information. The basic principles of presenting information in tables, charts, maps and text are explained. These are illustrated and then reinforced through practical exercises. The course is for anyone who is involved in communicating statistics to non-statisticians or who reports on data – of any description – within organisation, to specific communities and to the general public where a message is being given.
Many basic numeric messages are lost because of poor presentation. This course illustrates some of the problems and demonstrates simple improvements to aid the reception of messages. Each attendee will receive a copy of the presenter’s recently published book – “Presenting Data: How to communicate your message effectively”.
No previous knowledge is necessary to attend the course.
Ed Swires-Hennessy was a Government Statistician for almost 40 years: over half of this time was spent as an editor of statistical publications and responsible for the message delivery on a wide range of subjects. He has been a consultant on the dissemination of data since 2001 and advised many statistical institutes. This course has been run in many forms over the last 40 years with the same aim – improving the presentation of data.
