Event Details
Join us for the Innovate@UCLA Spring CxO Exchange session, From Innovation to Impact: The Data Storytelling Skill Every C-Suite Leader Needs, led by Timothy Park, MBA, Executive Director of the Easton Technology Management Center at UCLA Anderson. The event will be held on April 8, 2026, from 5:00-8:00 PM at UCLA.
Innovation only creates value when people understand it, trust it, and act on it. Despite significant investments in analytics and AI, many insights stall because leaders struggle to clearly articulate why they matter, creating a growing gap between technical teams and executive decision-makers.
In this session, you’ll learn how data storytelling becomes a leadership multiplier—translating complex insights into actionable business imperatives, unlocking ROI from data and AI investments, aligning technical and business teams, and driving adoption by connecting analytics to outcomes that matter.
Whether you’re championing AI transformation, justifying technology spend, or navigating resistance to data-driven change, this data storytelling skill determines whether your insights gather dust or drive results.
This is an invite-only event. For more information, please contact info@innovateucla.org
