In Trust & Safety, effectively communicating technical insights to executives is crucial for driving informed decision-making and strategic actions. This talk offers three strategies for impactful and high-level data communication. Firstly, this presentation emphasizes that the foundations of insight are laid in the quality of data infrastructure. Data scientists play a vital role in enhancing and simplifying the process of retrieving insights, which forms the crux of our discussion. We'll then explore tailoring data narratives to align with executive priorities, ensuring both relevance and urgency. Following this, we'll focus on translating complex data into clear, actionable insights, maintaining the essence of the technical details. Lastly, the role of visual storytelling in data presentation will be highlighted, demonstrating its effectiveness in driving executive engagement and decision-making. These approaches, rooted in practical experience, aim to bridge the gap between technical data creation and executive-level understanding, thereby boosting the effectiveness of T&S initiatives.
