Spreadsheet Controls for Non-Specialists

Data and Business Intelligence|2 days|Classroom or live online

Spreadsheet Controls for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data governance and statistical fundamentals without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with report automation, SQL querying and KPI definition in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring report automation into line with current good practice, measured against recognised data governance frameworks
Take ownership of SQL querying rather than escalating it
Improve KPI definition within their own organisation
Explain data cleaning and preparation to someone who does not do the work
