About this talk

Accessible Power BI Data Storytelling

We've created a report that uses open data published by the World Bank to explore global trends in wealth & health. This report has been published to the Power BI community data stories gallery.

The video below walks through the report. It is an example of how technology, data and visual design can be combined to engage people and turn data into actionable insights.

The report captures many of the techniques we use when we develop analytics for our clients. We find that design concepts such as branding, accessibility and persona driven user journeys are key to enabling the report to have the impact intended.

You can find the report on the Power BI Community Data Storytelling Gallery.

You can also watch a discussion about brand, design, usability and accessibility of the report: Accessible Data Storytelling with Power BI: Design Concepts and Accessible Colours
