Data Visualisation and Storytelling with Tableau

Reports full of dense tables rarely change decisions inside busy African organisations. This course teaches analysts and managers to turn operational and financial data into clear, persuasive Tableau dashboards that leaders actually use. Participants build interactive views from local datasets such as sales, service and public sector performance figures, and learn to frame the story behind the numbers.

What you will be able to do

  • Connect Tableau to spreadsheets, databases and cloud sources commonly used in the workplace.
  • Build interactive dashboards with filters, parameters and drill down views.
  • Select chart types that match the question being asked and the audience receiving the answer.
  • Apply layout, colour and labelling principles that improve clarity and reduce clutter.
  • Design a narrative flow that guides executives from insight to decision.
  • Publish and share dashboards responsibly while protecting sensitive information.
