Leading Forecasting Techniques Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers statistical fundamentals and data warehouse concepts 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 report automation, data cleaning and preparation and visual encoding choices in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring report automation into line with current good practice, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Improve data cleaning and preparation within their own organisation
- Put visual encoding choices on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of self service analytics rather than escalating it
