I’ve been chatting a lot lately with a friend about ways to incorporat retail sales-related data into training materials/courses. Pondering things like, “How do you translate statistics in a way that is easily absorbed and gets the point across in a brief tutorial/communication/training piece? Not sure about his companies specifics, but I like this example from Column Five.
My friend’s metrics seem complex to my data-challenged brain. But I’m thinking something similar could relatively easily be created in a rapid e-learning tool. Collaborate with him and his team to gather and understand statistics (e.g. around no-buy walkouts, time of day, etc)that could impact awareness of lost opportunities, etc. And then create an animated tutorial that breaks it down visually and simply.
Any thoughts? Would love to see any other examples of good use of data visualization in e-learning or other training pieces.
