A big seller at the Wiley booth at the NACVA conference in Las Vegas was a book titled Storytelling with Data. It’s critical for valuation reports to have an effective narrative that goes along with the data, but many reports are weak in the narrative area, so it’s no wonder the book was a big hit. The author is Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic, and she has a blog at www.storytellingwithdata.com. Her book would be a good companion to Narrative and Numbers: The Value of Stories in Business, by Dr. Aswath Damodaran (Stern School of Business, New York University).
