Forecasting Techniques for Small and Medium Enterprises
Data and Business Intelligence|3 days|Classroom or live online
Forecasting Techniques for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including visual encoding choices, KPI definition and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with data governance, self service analytics and spreadsheet controls in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring data governance into line with current good practice, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Take ownership of self service analytics rather than escalating it
- Explain spreadsheet controls to someone who does not do the work
- Review report automation and say plainly whether it is working
