Professional Development Certificate Training - Data Speaks: Data Analysis, Visualization and Outreach with Microsoft Power BI

Course Date:  

Translate data into actionable information and insights for informed decision making and communication using Microsoft Power BI

What gets measured, gets managed – goes the saying. But it misses out on a crucial link: what gets measured must be analyzed and visualised smartly for effective communication and influence. We live in a time of an over-abundance of data in every field. Every piece of this data, when analyzed, reveals a minefield of information. Unanalyzed, it is no good. But processed and communicated well, it becomes an excellent outreach tool, capable of making far-reaching impacts.

Hence, Centre for Science and Environment, brings you this three-day course on reading numbers and data, making sense of them, and visualising them to inform, influence and impact using the power of Power BI. 

The course will help you develop skills for searching and connecting with the data which is most relevant for you; analyse, visualise and interpret it; and translate it into actionable information using Power BI.  Mastering this smart data analytics tool will help you to integrate all your data in one place, analyse, and visualise your data – for effective presentation, writing and reporting.
