Before I tell you about this game-changing workshop, Let's Talk About Who This is Really For...
Education. Action. Transformation.
Our methodology is not for everyone, but if you are ready to start crafting compelling data stories that deliver true insights and influence your users, you are in the right place. Whether you’re…
- an Analytics Leader whose team is struggling to keep up with the daily reporting request, new BI tools and legacy data systems, and you need to accelerate self-service and change management to build your user's trust...
- an Analyst who is tired of running on the requirements gathering treadmill, with never ending KPIs/metrics that take forever to deliver (to no fault of your own) and you know there has to be a better way...
- a BI Developer who is tired of being an 'order taker' (creating one-time use reports), sitting in the back (away from the action and user), trying to learn every new BI tool, and you know deep down that you will soon be replaced...
- a BI Swiss Knife who is OK at everything but master of nothing, and you want to learn a skill set that will distinguish you from the crowd and compliment your technical knowledge, ensuring you remain the 'go-to-person' for the business...
You’re in the right place and I’m going to tell you exactly how the BI Data Storytelling Accelerator will give you the tools, techniques, and inspiration on your journey to craft compelling, actionable data stories that your users will love.
By the end of this workshop,
you and your team will be able to:
- Craft and communicate compelling data stories that your users will love and use to make faster decisions using a clear and proven methodology (instead of building more useless ad-hoc reports)
- Engage your users with confidence using our 'secret' data storyteller script to extract the correct story parts (vs. asking the wrong questions and watching the scope creep with an already small team)
- Stop guessing what your users want as they will simply tell you (once you learn 'what to ask')
- Easily guide your users through the data jungle using our four-part visual storyboard (remote or in-person), nailing the perfect narrative every time and getting quick buy-in
- Design amazing story-driven dashboards and reports in record time using our flexible and professionally designed wireframes (which can then be built in any BI tool)
- Deliver quick wins to your users over and over again as a part of your larger 'digital transformation' or 'data literacy' initiative (keeping the momentum and team going)
But above all else…
The BI Data Storytelling Accelerator will give you the tools, techniques, and inspiration you need. Whether it’s gathering story-driven requirements, crafting compelling data stories, or deliver actionable insights in any BI tool, you’ll be able to accelerate decision-making in your organization.
I really enjoyed the BI BRAINZ accelerated course. While it was 100% online, as everyone there was on video, it still felt like we were in it together! I enjoyed the facilitation as much as I did the course materials itself and had takeaways I was able to share with colleagues THE DAY I learned them. The time overall absolutely FLEW. Following the course, I was able to continue to connect with my classmates on Slack and LinkedIn and I think I’ve sparked some valuable new friendships! I will be recommending this course to my colleagues without reservation!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The BIDS Accelerator is for analyst, developers, super users, BI/Analytics/Data leaders and their teams… really. Anyone who wants to learn how to influence others using data. It’s not for folks who just want to ‘discover data’ all day or find the ‘best chart’. That time has passed. Business users need insights and fast.
The VIP experience usually cost $2046/pp and has been insanely discounted. We treat our VIPs well, so this is special. It includes a few other irresistible bonuses such as IMMEDIATE 24/7 access for 1-year to the BI Data Storytelling Mastery Online Course ($697 value), and an opportunity to be in our VIP Use Case Spotlight ($225 value and the most requested experience by attendees), where Mico and the entire class will critique a use case of your choice!
For Groups, the 10% discount is reflected directly in the payment form below, however, if you still need help, a PO or to register more than 5 people, please email academy@bibrainz.
Do not sleep on this, as we’re not sure when we will do our next BIDS class.
A: We highly recommend you try to attend the entire event, but if you can’t the recordings will be made available to all registered within 2 weeks after the event, so no worries. You will also join a private Slack group where you can ask questions outside of the class.
A: Yes, we will be using Zoom for our exclusive online classroom platform. Instructions will be provided ahead of the class to avoid technical delays. We also recommend coming with an open mind, good internet connection and lots of enthusiasm to learn!
Yes.. there is a limit.
- 75! Mainly due to the number of instructors, we have avail to help.
- VIP wise only 20 Seats are Available
We expect both to sell out especially since we have a large community and alumni who regularly recommend their colleagues (that typical constitutes 50% of each class). So if you want to attend, please register today. Once we are sold out, we won’t be able to make exceptions to ensure the highest quality experience.
Absolutely! This 3-day Accelerator is designed to take you from beginner to chief data storyteller. It’s the most advanced storytelling and user engagement workshop in the industry. We have not done any workshop this extensive for the public, or at events outside of private corporate events. It’s a unique opportunity and we’re excited to take this journey together with you.
While the BI Data Storytelling Accelerator is platform agnostic (meaning the stories your design can be built in any dashboarding tool), on day 2 you will be using a tool like Moqups of Microsoft Visio to bring your story to life in a digital wireframe. That is as techie as it’s going to get! But you do need to know how to use a browser, and will go through a quick 15 min training on the platform so you know how to interact during the event.
Sure! The fastest way is to click the ‘chat now’ button at the right of the page or send an email to [email protected] and someone will get back to you within one business day. Be sure to include a phone number.
