Why data storytelling is the executive skill of 2026

Dashboards have multiplied, but decisions have not. Boards in the UAE, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia are asking for fewer slides and clearer narratives. AI now compresses the analyst to narrative cycle from days to minutes, but only for leaders trained to operate it responsibly. This MasterClass closes that gap for non technical executives across BFSI, retail, manufacturing, healthcare and government.

What the 3 day MasterClass covers

Day 1 establishes foundations of business data, visualisation principles and storytelling structure for leaders. Day 2 introduces AI assisted analysis, executive summarisation and reducing information overload for the C suite. Day 3 closes with strategic narratives, data ethics and a final leadership presentation lab where teams build and present AI generated business stories.

Who should attend

CFOs, COOs, Heads of Strategy, Heads of FP&A, BI leads, Heads of Risk, Heads of Supply Chain, HR analytics leaders, public sector policy advisors and any senior manager presenting to executive committees across the UAE and Africa.

2026 cohort and pricing

The AI Driven Data Storytelling MasterClass runs Onsite in July and August 2026, 3 days, 4 hours per day. Pricing is USD 800 per seat Online and USD 1200 per seat Onsite. Private corporate cohorts available on a 4 week lead time.

Certification

Aligned to Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300). e-Certificate of Completion personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do participants need Power BI or coding background?

No. The MasterClass is taught without code. Excel and any AI assistant are sufficient. PL-300 alignment is provided for those who want to pursue Microsoft certification separately.

Is the content industry specific?

The core method is cross industry. Case studies are drawn from financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare and government so every participant gets relevant examples.
