INDIANAPOLIS BOUND!
Next week I’m in Indianapolis for the American Evaluation Association conference, with a fitting theme of “The Power of Story”.
I’ll be teaching a workshop for a large group of wonderful evaluators and getting them started with Power BI to visualize evaluation data in a dashboard.
I’m also giving a talk about why data literacy initiatives always fail (and what to do instead) SPOILER: effective data viz is a large part of the solution.
If you’ll be at the conference, reply to this email and let me know. I’d love to meet you!
(or if you’re in Indianapolis, regardless of the conference, still say hi.)
