Practical Self Service Analytics
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through forecasting techniques and KPI definition 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 data cleaning and preparation, data modelling and pivot table analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain data cleaning and preparation to someone who does not do the work, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
- Put data modelling on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Review pivot table analysis and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where DAX and calculated measures is failing before it becomes a finding
