Duration: 60 minutes

Track: Visualize & Inform

In the Wizard of Oz, Toto pulls back the green curtain to expose that the Wizard of Oz is a fraud. In this session, we will look behind the 'green curtain' of the data visualisation to learn how to 'poke holes' in the data that you are given, both in business and in everyday news headlines. In order to explode the myths in the data that surrounds us every day, we can look for deviations from these patterns in the data. We will learn how to use both data visualisation in Power BI combined with timeless data analysis to reveal or conceal efforts to distort the numbers, and question the veracity of the data. In the Wizard of Oz, Toto was the only character with courage, heart and wisdom. You'll need all three to analyse data, since truthful data doesn't necessarily give easy answers! Join us to learn more about how to pull back the green curtain on your data, and to follow the yellow brick road to expose the stories hidden in your data.
