Data Storytelling for COOs: How to Sell Your Ideas with Data
The COO presents a spreadsheet full of numbers. The board yawns. Data alone is cold. Data Storytelling is the skill of wrapping data in a business narrative. Don't say "SLA dropped 10%." Say "The drop in SLA is costing us $50k a week, and here is the plan to recover."
Context, Conflict, Solution
Every good chart tells a story.
- Context: Where we were.
- Conflict: The problem that arose (shown in data).
- Solution: What we are going to do.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should I use PowerPoint? Avoid it. PowerPoint is static. Presenting straight from the system shows confidence and transparency. MeetJestor.
How to simplify complex data? Aggregate. Show the macro first. Only "drill-down" (detail) if asked.
What is the most common mistake? Too much data. If the chart has 10 lines, no one understands anything.
