  1. Define your goal: Clearly outline what your presentation aims to achieve.
  2. Collect the data: Gather and organise any statistics or information relevant to your goal. 
  3. Interpret the data: Analyse trends and any deviations from those trends to see how this has affected meeting your goals. 
  4. Develop recommendations: Provide justified suggestions on how to improve business practices based on what you have learned from your data analysis.
  5. Take action: Put your recommendations into practice and create an action plan to test your assumptions.

Pie charts are useful to display percentages or proportional information in an easy-to-digest way.

👉  Bar Charts
Bar charts are great for comparing related items in a group, where the length of each bar is proportionate to the value it represents.
