Communicating and Presenting Complex Issues and Data
Effective visual display of complex information
Sacramento Campus
Counties present complex and detailed information to decision-makers and the public, and may fall into the trap of overwhelming the audience with too much content or complexity. This course provides strategies and techniques for presenting data, complex issues and analytical information in a way an audience can understand and apply. Participants explore balancing content with clarity, effective use of tools such as PowerPoint, and determining what evidence to present. Using their own examples, participants examine how to present statistical data, key elements of visual design, and creation of presentations which communicate multifaceted ideas in a clear manner.
Instructor: Dr. Mary Kirlin is Associate Professor of Public Policy and Administration at CSU-Sacramento.
