About the training…
Dashboards are becoming a key part of data strategy – putting the numbers at the fingertips of stakeholders and giving them ownership of their data. Tools such as Power BI, Tableau and Qlik provide powerful capabilities for displaying dynamically-updated numbers and the ability to filter, drilldown and explore.
But without a user-centric approach to designing dashboards they can easily be underused and become a wasted resource. This course will give attendees the confidence and expertise to design dashboards that empower stakeholders.
