The free book club discussion guide (PDF) provides an outline of how the book's nine chapters can be organized into a six-part series of discussion sessions. Based on how frequently you would like to meet as a group, you can use the guide as a baseline for building a discussion plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
For each chapter of the book, the guide summarizes the key topics, proposes potential questions to spur group discussion, and provides potential ideas for activities that can be used to reinforce the concepts of each chapter. Whether this is your first book club or a part of an ongoing series, the guide will help your team to maximize its learning experience with this book.
Along with the discussion guide, you also get a one-page reference sheet (PDF) that covers some of the main concepts and frameworks in the book. After your team has finished reading the book together, the sheet can serve as a handy reference when your team members work on crafting new data stories.
This guide was a great means of giving structure to an enterprise-wide book club forum. It helped foster conversation and increase engagement within our chapter review meetings, resulting in rave reviews from participants who labeled it the ‘best book club ever!’
