Indonesia - The Strategic Data Storyteller_Workshop_JAK

Indonesia - The Strategic Data Storyteller_Workshop_JAK

The Strategic Data Storyteller: AI-Enhanced Narratives for Executive Influence #Data #Beginner #AI Note: This is an in-person event. Please register only if you can attend in person. The event will be conducted in Indonesian. Join us for "The Strategic Storyteller: AI-Enhanced Narratives for Executive Influence," a hands-on session designed to help you close the gap between simply having good data and actually driving decisions with it. Because in most conversations, it’s not the numbers that win—it’s the story. In this session, we’ll explore how to think like an executive, transform raw data into narratives that influence CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, and CTOs, and leverage AI as a copilot to accelerate analysis and executive summary creation—without ever losing control of your own judgment. Whether you’re a data analyst, product or business practitioner, or a student building real-world skills, this workshop will equip you with storytelling frameworks and AI-powered techniques you can apply immediately upon returning to your desk. What you’ll learn: Think Like a Leader. Understand how CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, and CTOs actually make decisions—and what they truly want to hear from you. Master the Storytelling Framework. Learn a practical framework that turns raw numbers into insights, impact, and clear, actionable next steps. Use AI as Your Copilot. See firsthand how AI can speed up your analysis and executive summaries—without ever letting go of your own judgment. Step Into the Boardroom. In the Executive Storytelling Lab, you’ll dissect real business dashboards, craft Executive Briefs for specific stakeholders, and pitch directly in front of the room. Why you should attend: Take home a framework you can use on Monday morning—not just theory that’s forgotten by lunchtime. Learn to “speak” the language of decision-makers so your insights are truly heard and acted on. Get real hands-on practice in a realistic boardroom simulation—no slides, no lectures. Build confidence to turn data into influence and stand out in any high-stakes room. By the end of the session, you won’t just see data differently—you’ll present it differently, and be heard because of it. Seats are limited, so secure yours now and start turning your data into impact. Event location guide: Head to the Astra Tower Lobby → Take the escalator to floor 3 → Meet the SLD team for access to floor 56 → Proceed to AstraPay Lounge Meeting Room.
