    Great video again for many people out there. Personally I been using storytelling with data for 6 years. First 5 years as an external consultant and now since 1 year as an internal strategy consultant for a major retailer. One thing which works very well is a slide with the facts, the "so what" and "what's next". So pretty much the facts, conclusions and recommendations. Translation from data into insights into strategy.

    Hi Heinrich, absolutely love it. Thank you so much for showing us with the before and after. I mostly struggle to get data cleaned so that it is useable. The story often comes with sidenotes. These insights are so underrated to be able to move forward, so again I really appreciate you want to share your knowledge on this topic. Excellent!

    @FirmLearning its a bit sad they don't give fixed licenses vs. perpetual licenses. A lot of the world still runs on fixed licenses on the retail side. Think Cell seems to have value but only to corporations.

    Ernsthaft, so schwer ist das „th“ nun auch wieder nicht. Das klingt wie reinstes Hochdeutsch. Andere Sprachen KLINGEN anders. Das hier ist echt schwer auszuhalten. Wird dir kein native speaker sagen, sie sagen es nur denen, die tatsächlich wie native speaker klingen. Aber das kann echt niemand lange aushalten. Schlimmer als sächsisch. Oder indisches „Indlish“. Du klingst wie wenn Otto Leute nachmacht, die eigentlich kein Englisch sprechen. Wie kann jemand English lernen und zu 100% Deutsch klingen auf dem Level?? Sorry, super Inhalt, aber ich krieg schon die Krise, was glaubst du, wie das für native speaker klingt…
