Storytelling with Data for Non-Specialists

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

Storytelling with Data 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 warehouse concepts and self service analytics 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 data governance, spreadsheet controls and visual encoding choices in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of data governance rather than escalating it, measured against dimensional modelling practice
Explain spreadsheet controls to someone who does not do the work
Make a decision about visual encoding choices without waiting for a specialist
Spot where statistical fundamentals is failing before it becomes a finding
