Maven - Remote Working
In this activity you will learn how to anchor any data story by first defining the decision, the audience, and the outcomes before touching the data.
You will learn to tame large, messy datasets by grouping questions into meaningful themes and mapping them to a clear narrative structure.
You will learn how to sketch a storyboard that guides the flow of insights and ensures your visuals are explanatory rather than exploratory.
You will learn how to sequence your story so headline findings lead naturally into deeper evidence, creating a coherent arc for senior stakeholders.
Finally, you will learn how to iterate—reviewing, rearranging, and refining—so your final dashboard moves your audience smoothly from insight to implication to action.
Maven - Superbowl Challenge
In this activity you will learn how to ground your data story in the brief by clarifying the decision-makers’ needs and defining a tight scope before touching the dataset.
​
You will learn to review raw data with intent, separating what is genuinely relevant to the narrative from what only adds noise, and grouping the remaining fields into meaningful analytical themes.
​
You will learn to identify the metrics that matter, sketch a narrative flow, and build a storyboard that sets context, explains methodology, and leads naturally into insights and recommendations.
​
You will learn how to iterate through visual concepts, refining them for clarity, consistency, and decision-readiness through colour discipline, layout alignment, and removal of anything that doesn’t serve the story.
​
Finally, you will learn how to polish a one‑page dashboard that guides senior stakeholders smoothly from context to insight to a confident, data‑driven creative direction for the Super Bowl ad.
