Practical Predictive Analytics
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through forecasting techniques and data cleaning and preparation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with statistical fundamentals, DAX and calculated measures and storytelling with data in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain statistical fundamentals to someone who does not do the work, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Take ownership of DAX and calculated measures rather than escalating it
- Spot where storytelling with data is failing before it becomes a finding
- Improve scenario modelling within their own organisation
