Bringing data alive and making the figures sing is a key problem for many managers. But audiences only engage with data when they understand what it means for them or their business.
Working Week has just finished helping an organisation that specialises in labour market research to do just that. With several years of data under its belt, it wanted to raise awareness of its research and up its impact on policy makers, practitioners and opinion formers.
The answer was to use the research findings to develop a set of case studies and story lines that would appeal to the organisation's key audiences. It's about creating that emotional pull that tells your audience why the figures matter.
It's not as simple as it sounds and requires not just knowledge of what the data shows but a genuine understanding of what it means in practice. Whether they are looking to reach an internal or external audience, until they take this leap, organisations will never get the return they want on their research investment.
