Managing Self Service Analytics
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers storytelling with data and pivot table analysis 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 KPI definition, forecasting techniques and visual encoding choices in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain KPI definition to someone who does not do the work, measured against dimensional modelling practice
- Bring forecasting techniques into line with current good practice
- Take ownership of visual encoding choices rather than escalating it
- Make a decision about data cleaning and preparation without waiting for a specialist
