Forecasting Techniques Masterclass

Data and Business Intelligence|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into dashboard design, pivot table analysis and the judgement calls that sit outside established visualisation principles. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them. Delegates leave able to work confidently with SQL querying, data cleaning and preparation and spreadsheet controls in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Review SQL querying and say plainly whether it is working, measured against established visualisation principles
  • Explain data cleaning and preparation to someone who does not do the work
  • Take ownership of spreadsheet controls rather than escalating it
  • Improve KPI definition within their own organisation
