Data to Insight Slide

The Problem with Most Data Slides

Most data slides show data. Great data slides show insights.

The Pattern

1. Headline = Insight (not "Sales Data") 2. Chart = Evidence supporting the headline 3. Takeaway = So What? What action does this suggest?

Your Task

Create a data slide using this data:

| Region | 2023 Sales | 2024 Sales | Growth | |--------|------------|------------|--------| | North | $1.2M | $1.8M | +50% | | South | $800K | $850K | +6% | | East | $950K | $1.1M | +16% | | West | $1.5M | $1.4M | -7% |

The Insight: North region is your growth engine (+50%)

Requirements

1. Use Chart Focus layout 2. Title states the insight (not "Regional Sales") 3. Create a bar chart showing the growth percentages 4. Add a takeaway: "Double down on North region strategy"
