The book not only gives leaders the tools to ask the right
questions, but it also enables companies to innovate at pace by
virtue of the types of questions they ask. The third book in the
trilogy that looks at how to make sense and communicate around data
and to surface the key issues that can impact performance. Unlike
most other books that focus in questioning techniques, this book
looks at the complex issues that can arise in business and
particularly making sense of and the communication of detailed
information.

How do we advance? As individuals, families, and businesses? As
societies, nations, and a species? In a world where it's said there
is nothing new under the sun, we humans are remarkably resourceful
at creating new things. The key to innovation is understanding, but
not just by using facts, data, and casual observations. Progress
demands the profound and useful understanding of a person or a
thing, a situation or an issue. And profound and useful
understanding that truly effects change is that most elusive of
phenomena: insight. How To Be Insightful provides a novel and
deeply practical framework that anyone can use to generate more
powerful and impactful insights from the increasing volumes of data
we all face every day, whatever we do. The framework - the STEP
Prism of Insight - has been developed through decades of both
practice and training, and the book includes many exercises
designed to help strengthen and develop readers' insight muscles.
The book explains the history, psychology, and neuroscience of
insight and includes snapshots of insight from international
experts in many different fields - psychology and neuroscience,
music and acting, forensic science and market research.
Shortlisted for the Business Book of the Year Awards in the Sales
and Marketing category. As jobs become increasingly similar, there
are two skills that everyone needs if they're going to thrive.
These are the ability to interrogate and make sense of data, and
the ability to use insights extracted from data to persuade others
to act. Analytics + storytelling = influence. Humans are hardwired
to respond to stories and story structure. Stories are how we make
sense of and navigate the world. We respond best to stories that
are based on evidence. But storytellers need to use data as the
foundation of stories, not as the actual stories themselves. To be
truly impactful, rational facts need to be presented with a veneer
of emotion. The Big Data revolution means more data is available
than ever. The trouble is, most people aren't very numerate or good
at statistics. Many find it hard to look at data and extract
insights. Meanwhile, those for whom numbers hold no fear don't
always make the best storytellers. They mistakenly believe they
need to prove their point by showing their workings. There are some
simple and effective rules of data-driven storytelling that help
everyone tell more compelling, evidence-based stories, whoever they
need to convince. Narrative by Numbers shows you how.
