Self Service Analytics for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers storytelling with data and data quality management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with KPI definition, forecasting techniques and data modelling in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain KPI definition to someone who does not do the work, measured against dimensional modelling practice
- Make a decision about forecasting techniques without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of data modelling rather than escalating it
- Put spreadsheet controls on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
