Practical Data Visualisation
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through statistical fundamentals and visual encoding choices on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with self service analytics, data cleaning and preparation and data quality management in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain self service analytics to someone who does not do the work, measured against dimensional modelling practice
- Make a decision about data cleaning and preparation without waiting for a specialist
- Put data quality management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve DAX and calculated measures within their own organisation
