Python for Analysts for Managers

Data and Business Intelligence|3 days|Classroom or live online

This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers SQL querying and data quality management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, forecasting techniques and self service analytics in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review spreadsheet controls and say plainly whether it is working, measured against established visualisation principles
Make a decision about forecasting techniques without waiting for a specialist
Spot where self service analytics is failing before it becomes a finding
Bring pivot table analysis into line with current good practice
