Telling Stories with Data in 3 Steps (Quick Study) reviews
Setup, conflict, resolution.
You know right away when you see an effective chart or graphic. It hits you with an immediate sense of its meaning and impact. But what actually makes it clearer, sharper, and more effective? In this video, Scott Berinato, author of “Good Charts” and “Good Charts Workbook”, walks through the three essential ingredients of any story–including those told with data.

Fit for TikTok, not YouTube.

Nice, improves clarity and simplicity in using data
Clement GAVI –
When we hear the word 'conflict' we deploy what we have in our categories of understanding to make it intelligible. In our categories of understanding conflict refers to opposition of two entities. I wonder how if you have to tell a story by using data a change in the data must be labeled 'conflict'/
For instance if a benefit, in other words something that per se positive has increased, there is a change in the data, so even a positive change must be a conflict in story telling.
Why not the idea of 'alterity' that refers to the otherness.
If we are in a world full of trouble we shouldn't banalize certain words till to give account of a change in the data, you must consider it as conflict

Wow – the before & after (data only vs after you applied the narrative framework) really drives home the point. Nice work!

Great and easy way of understanding thank you!
ArrogantBaSStard –
Is the term “conflict” in this context an area or point of immediate or dramatic variance in the data? Not necessarily a negative event? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of “conflict”. Thanks for the great video!

Do any one tries on any other sample data? Please share your data story here. An YouTube video would be great.
Benjamin G –
Brilliant explanation on how to interpret data and how to communicate
Anthony Miyazaki –
Great explanation Scott. (We've assigned Good Charts to our Master of Science in Marketing students. It's essential reading for ANYONE who wants to visualize data.)
R B –
Great video! Excellent way to illustrate what's meant by storytelling with data! On the chart and data used in the example here, would it make more sense to use a log scale? The percentage change matters, but a straight index scale with a 2005 reference point distorts that. For example, the change from 0.2 to 1.0 is a huge 5x (400%) increase but is visually represented the same as a 1.0 to 1.8 (80%) increase in the scaling choice here.
I've read Berinato's "Good Charts" book many times, it's excellent and I highly recommend it.
