Strategic Spreadsheet Controls
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Spreadsheet Controls looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on scenario modelling, storytelling with data and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because most organisations have more dashboards than decisions that depend on them. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spreadsheet controls, self service analytics and dashboard design in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
