Training Options
Helping analysts shine a light on critical insights, and make invisible data, visible.You already know the problem. Your team’s got brilliant data – but when it comes time to present it? Things get a little… murky. It’s like everyone is speaking a different language! Slides overflow, charts confuse, and audiences walk away asking, “So what?”
That’s where we come in. We help data-driven teams build the skills to create visuals and stories that have audiences see what we want them to see, and do what we want them to do.
No generic webinars. No one-size-fits-all slide templates. Just expert training, working on your real-time projects, and implementing systems that stick.
Give it some colour with Blue Box.

Data Visualisation
Confidently select the most appropriate visualisation for a situation that gives an unmistakable interpretation of the data.
Audience & Message

🚀 Data Makeover Challenge
1 hour | Monthly online sessions
A sneak peek at what’s possible when data meets storytelling.
This isn’t a training session – it’s a peek at real transformation. Join us for a high-speed, high-impact demo of what great data communication looks like.
Watch our data designers talk through their makeover of real slides and charts, teaching the logic, tools, and techniques as they go. You’ll leave with practical tools, a sharper eye, and an idea what your pages could look like.
You’ll see how to:
- Turn dense, overloaded slides into sharp, story-driven messages.
- Make your insights unmistakably clear to your audience.
- Have engaging, unmistakable pages in your report or presentation.

🛠️ Data Storytelling Foundations
3-month team program | Workshop and Embedding
Train your data team to think like communicators. Our core system your data team needs to turn insights into influence.
Your analysts know the numbers. But that moment – when someone presents in a meeting and everyone leaves saying “interesting.. but so what?”. That’s what we can fix!
The Foundations Program is a hands-on, done-with-you training experience for teams who are drowning in detail and ready to drive decisions. We combine education with implementation so your team doesn’t just learn theory – they actually use it!
Who it’s for:
- Data teams who create reports, dashboards, or presentations
- Leaders who want to raise their team’s influence and impact
- Analysts who want to be trusted advisors, not just number crunchers
You know you need this if (tick all that apply):
◻ Reports are heavy on numbers, and light on meaning
◻ Presentations feel more like data dumps than decision drivers
◻ Leaders constantly rework slides before (and/or after) delivery
◻ You hear “we’re not getting action from our insights”
◻ Data teams are technically brilliant, but not influencing change
Outcomes you’ll see:
✔ Confident data communicators who know how to tell a compelling story
✔ Sharper slides, cleaner dashboards, and tighter messaging
✔ Stakeholders will “get it” on the first read.
✔ Less rework. More impact. Better business outcomes.
“Our analysts went from hesitant to high-impact. Execs are actually asking for their input now.”
“Clear data storytelling is the step that connects insight to influence. Without it, our smartest people would’ve remained unheard.”
