Fundamentals of Business Intelligence
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Business Intelligence is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data modelling and spreadsheet controls without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with DAX and calculated measures, visual encoding choices and SQL querying in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where DAX and calculated measures is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against established visualisation principles
- Improve visual encoding choices within their own organisation
- Take ownership of SQL querying rather than escalating it
- Review storytelling with data and say plainly whether it is working
