Practical Forecasting Techniques
Data and Business Intelligence|3 days|Classroom or live online
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through KPI definition and data quality management on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: analysts are frequently self taught in the tool and untrained in the reasoning, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with SQL querying, forecasting techniques and data cleaning and preparation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve SQL querying within their own organisation, measured against established visualisation principles
- Put forecasting techniques on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain data cleaning and preparation to someone who does not do the work
- Review report automation and say plainly whether it is working
