You are invited to register for the HEDW webinar The Human-First Approach - A Framework for Humanizing Data Analysis on Wed, Oct 14, 2026 at 3:30pm EST. It is presented by Anna Kourouniotis from Duke University.
The webinar will focus on humanizing data analysis for higher education business and data analysts by shifting from technical perfection to impactful conversations with stakeholders. It will guide participants through common traps analysts face, such as prioritizing tools over real problems, failing to tailor information for different audiences, and working in isolation. The webinar will discuss replacing these with collaborative, audience-centered approaches.

In this webinar, you can expect to learn how to:

1. Understand how to shift from a tool-centered to a problem-centered mindset, ensuring data work aligns with actual decision-making needs.
2. Learn strategies to tailor data insights and explanations to different audiences, improving stakeholder understanding and engagement.
3. Develop collaborative habits, such as gathering early feedback and defining problems through dialogue, to enhance solution relevance and adoption.

 
Anna  Kourouniotis is a Database Analyst at Duke University. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Information Systems, an MA in New Media and Communications, and an Ed.S. in Instructional Technology.
