Data storytelling is the art of turning complex data into clear, engaging narratives using analysis, visuals, and context. It helps audiences understand not just what the data shows, but why it matters—making insights more memorable and actionable. Widely used across industries, it drives decisions, communicates performance, and influences stakeholders effectively.

Data visualisation is the practice of turning raw data into visual formats like charts and graphs, making patterns and insights easier to understand. It helps users quickly interpret complex information, identify trends, and make informed decisions. Widely used in business and research, it enhances communication and brings data to life.

Power BI is a business analytics and data visualisation tool developed by Microsoft. It enables users to connect to various data sources, transform and model data, and create interactive dashboards and reports that provide real-time insights. Designed for both technical and non-technical users, Power BI has an intuitive interface that’s familiar to those who use Excel, making it easy to learn and use. With its ability to turn complex data into clear, visually engaging reports, Power BI empowers organisations to make informed, data-driven decisions efficiently.
