Data Visualization Presentations for Executives is a course in data visualization basics and executive reporting with Word, Excel and PowerPoint, from putting the conclusion first and choosing charts that fit the data to bringing charts into slides that update with the data and presenting with Presenter View. It suits people who prepare reports for executives and team leaders.
Executives have limited time and must decide from a great deal of data. A good report states its conclusion from the first slide and uses figures and charts as evidence that can be understood in a few seconds. Yet many reports are still full-page tables of numbers, charts that show everything and say nothing, or slides whose figures have to be retyped every time the Excel data changes.
This course lays the foundations of data visualization for executive reports with Word, Excel and PowerPoint in Microsoft 365. It covers structuring the story for executives, choosing charts that fit the data, preparing calculation tables in Excel, building charts with a single message, bringing charts into PowerPoint so they update with the data, turning a Word outline into slides, designing summary slides, presenting with Presenter View and exporting the files. It finishes with a workshop that produces a performance report for management. (1 day, 6 hours, Beginner to Intermediate level.)

Data visualization means showing data visually, as charts, headline numbers or diagrams, so patterns and conclusions are seen faster than by reading a table. Choose the chart from the question: bar or column charts to compare items, line charts for trends over time, pie or doughnut charts for a share split into only a few parts, and scatter charts for the relationship between two values.
Open with an executive summary slide that states the conclusion and the decision you need. Give each slide one key message and write slide titles as conclusions rather than topic names. Use charts stripped of clutter with the key point in one colour, move detailed tables to an appendix, and use Zoom to jump to answers without paging through every slide.
Copy the chart in Excel and paste it into PowerPoint with a Link Data paste option, using either the destination theme or the source formatting. The chart stays connected to the source workbook, and when the data changes you select the chart and choose Refresh Data. Keep the Excel and PowerPoint files in the same folder or on OneDrive so the link does not break when files move.
It suits people who prepare reports or slides for executives, executive assistants, planning officers, data analysts and team leaders who report their team's results. You should be able to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint for everyday work and have a laptop with Microsoft 365 apps or Office 2024.
You will be able to structure a report with the conclusion first, choose charts that fit the data, prepare calculation tables in Excel, build single-message charts, bring charts into PowerPoint so they update with the data, build slides from a Word outline, present with Presenter View and Zoom, and export to PDF with embedded fonts. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.
Yes. It can be run in-house for your team, with examples adapted to your own work, such as using your organisation's report format and slide template in the workshop. You can request a quotation from this page, or contact us on LINE @itgenius or by phone on 02-570-8449.
Many organisations keep their data spread across Excel workbooks, CSV files and several databases. Every month end, staff copy, paste and reformat the same reports, figures from different departments do not match, and managers do not see the big picture in…
Many organisations have switched on Microsoft 365, yet most staff still use only email, Word and Excel the old way. Files travel back and forth as attachments, several versions get mixed up, meetings are arranged in private chats, and people are unsure…
Many presentations are still built as if PowerPoint were an overhead projector: slides full of text, every slide formatted by hand, and the whole file reworked whenever a colour or font has to change. That wastes time, leaves slides looking inconsistent and…
