Got a gripe? Something you’ve been struggling with? An issue you just can’t resolve? A whinge you just want to let out?

Here are some issues we might cover during our discussions*:
- Communicating survey outcomes with other people in your institution.
- Dealing with ‘survey experts’.

Data Visualisation Public Training Course
8 September 2021
Online
Why Data Visualisation?
It’s one thing to know how to build a report or dashboard in Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, etc., but it’s another to know which chart types to use under different circumstances, how to make it look good, and most importantly, how to make it easy for people to consume the information.
- Why choose a line chart over a bar chart?
- What is a bullet chart and when to use it?
- What colours should you use and where and why?
These and other important questions are addressed during this technology-independent one-day course.

Dimensional Modelling Public Training Course
22–23 September 2021
Online
What is Dimensional Modelling?
Dimensional Modelling is an approach to make it easier and faster to store, read, summarize and analyse information in a data warehouse. The concept of Dimensional Modelling was developed by Ralph Kimball and made famous in the book ‘The Data Warehouse Toolkit’ (Kimball/Ross, 2013) that established a whole new vocabulary including ‘facts’ and ‘dimensions’.
Attendees of this two-day course will learn the tried and tested Kimball techniques for designing robust dimensional models to support enterprise decision making. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of dimensional modelling that they can apply directly to their workplace projects.
