Overview
Communicating complex or technical information can be one of the hardest parts of conveying insights. Whether it’s in IT, finance, policy, marketing, research or information governance, how can you make sure that your message is clear, engaging and relevant, without oversimplifying or confusing senior stakeholders and colleagues?
Our Communicating and Presenting Complex Information training course has been specifically designed to help people in technical or specialist job roles convey their knowledge in a much clearer and understandable way.
Learn the skills and proven communication techniques that ensure you are clearly understood when speaking or presenting infographics, data visualisations, written reports or online posts.
Through interactive workshops gain the tools and techniques to communicate clearly, effortlessly and efficiently and be understood by peers and senior stakeholders.
