Business Intelligence Strategy and Self Service Analytics

Many organisations buy analytics tools yet still struggle to get consistent answers because reporting is scattered and ungoverned. This course helps leaders and analysts design a business intelligence approach that balances central control with self service freedom. Participants plan the people, data and governance needed to make trustworthy analytics available across the organisation.
