Business Intelligence for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers storytelling with data and scenario modelling from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, data warehouse concepts and report automation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve spreadsheet controls within their own organisation, measured against dimensional modelling practice
- Bring data warehouse concepts into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of report automation rather than escalating it
- Spot where data cleaning and preparation is failing before it becomes a finding
