Leading Report Automation 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 spreadsheet controls from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with storytelling with data, forecasting techniques and report automation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where storytelling with data is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Bring forecasting techniques into line with current good practice
- Review report automation and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of self service analytics rather than escalating it
