Data analysis is the first step of any data-driven decision making. Data analysis includes gathering, cleaning, and preparing the data.  Thinking of how the data will be visualized will help setup success in later steps.

Creative Design is how images, charts, graphs look, and feel to the end-user. The focus is on color schemes, graphic designs, storytelling, and other visual appeals.

The most effective leaders are those that can communicate complex ideas in a straightforward way. Crafting a simple, understandable message will better engage the audience.
