Upskill yourself! The SWAN Rising Smart Water Professionals (RiSWP) interactive workshop on "The Power of Data Storytelling" will be held in the evening of May 9th, led by Tertius Rust from the City of Cape Town and sponsored by Optimatics.
In this workshop, we will explore how targeted messaging and discipline can help you achieve your goals through the use of storytelling techniques. Join us to discuss the importance of understanding your audience and tailoring to their needs and interests. Additionally, we will demonstrate how to structure your story using the principles of narrative arc, character development, and conflict resolution. Thus, creating a powerful story that engages your audience and achieves your goals. |
Come along for an exciting journey where your words come alive and your creativity knows no bounds.
The event is open to young professionals and students under 35 years old.

Meet Your Facilitator
As a chartered engineer with a master's degree in innovation business administration, my career has taken me to some of the most exciting places on earth, from the United Kingdom to Singapore, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and South Africa. During my journey, I've played multiple roles in the water utility industry, including engineer, consultant, and client, which have provided me with unique insights into the workings of this vital sector.
One of the most striking observations I've made during my time in this field is that individuals and teams often know precisely what problems they face and the solutions they require. Yet, despite their knowledge and expertise, the daunting task of garnering support from a diverse range of stakeholders can lead to projects being cancelled, halted, or scaled back, resulting in a lack of large-scale deployment or the necessary pace required to make a significant impact. To overcome these challenges, I've dedicated my career to exploring innovative techniques that can help water utilities succeed. I strive to make the water market segment the most innovative in the world by bringing together the brightest minds and the latest techniques.
