Telling a Story

What sets an analyst apart from the pack? The ability to take the insights or findings from data and weave it into a story. The days of "just the facts" is gone. To get the attention your analysis needs you have to be able to captivate your audience. I don't mean write a novel, just make sure to convey a full, actionable, thought in a properly formed sentence. That will separate you from the "There was a 10% increase in visits" and become "The 10% increase in visitors to the site was caused by the additional media support and buzz surrounding product x".
