What is it?

Insight Analyst is a 6-week online course with physical kits and workbooks and extensive templates. It shows you how to successfully gather requirements for dashboards and reports

Who is it for?

Insight Analyst is for any professional that works with data and wants to take themselves or their team to the next level of value for dashboards and reports. It is for both junior and senior professionals alike.

Where does it happen?

The Insight Analyst course is online and consists of training videos, tools and templates. You complete it online and follow the pace of the course with weekly assignments that you apply directly to you job.

How does it work?

You watch the videos at the start of each week and complete the assigned actions at work for real world experience by using the provided tools and templates.

When does it start?

Insight Analyst is a 6-week online course with a flexible start date. It requires your commitment for the entire 6-week duration as activities will be assigned and need to be completed each week.

Why does it exist?

We created Insight Analyst because organizations are experienceing difficulty with report and dashboard adoption and there are few solutions available. We have solved that problem with a specific set of steps to eliminate many of the causal factors.

Ridiculously effective

'Ridiculously effective’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Nick’s Enterprise Dashboard Process. His program gave my team a scalable and repeatable process to deliver ACTIONABLE insight that truly adds value to the company. He has a crazy amount of experience, giving him a wealth of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t. We’re much more confident in the product we deliver thanks to Nick’s process.

Nick knows how to make your dashboards succeed

Natalie Williams - Senior Manager, Consultant

Nick has worked for many years in the analytics field, both inside and outside of Deloitte. His work has been consistently underpinned by two core themes – making the insights you and your company can get from data accessible through well thought out and intuitive visual assets; and integrating those visual assets (such as dynamic dashboards) with existing platforms and processes to help business leaders take action on the insights.

Analytics is as much an art as it is a science and Nick has a unique ability to bridge the gap between data science, digital and the generation of measurable, tangible business value. And all with an energetic approach and sprinkle of Irish charm!

Persona-based dashboard requirements intake

Bora Inceler - Director Financial Crime Analytics

There is immense value in an individual taking this course. Exponential value is generated when a whole team takes it as the cultural shift needed is more rapid. Imagine not having to convince colleagues that engaging users and stakeholders is important. It changes the conversation from ‘what can we do with our data’ to ‘what our data needs to do for us’, i.e. start with business value and make the data work to get there. Get your reporting intake standardised, no more wild west. This course works.

Nick is Extremely Knowledgeable

Frank Noordover - Director of Data Management

Nick is extremely knowledgeable on the topic, with lots of real world experience implementing COEs for his clients. He taught us about his framework and gave a lot of great insight how to use the framework within our own organization. His teaching style is outstanding and he gets the class to engage so it becomes a discussion. I definitely recommend taking a class from Nick if you have the chance.

Create higher adoption rates

Also Castellanos - Category and Shopper Insights Strategist

Nick's training on building better dashboards has been instrumental in helping McKee Foods get on the road from good to great visualizations. The ingredient we were missing was that we needed to create a system to successfully create higher dashboard adoption rates. As a result of using the Dashboard Wireframe Kit, we now have a more engaged stakeholder group and more user relevant dashboards. I recommend anyone seeking to become the best visual data storyteller in the industry to try Nick's training. It will be money well spent!

Standardized process to increase adoption

Hernan Pisano - Practice Lead, Data Capabilities Office

When you’ve been in BI as long as I have, you start to see the same barriers to extracting value from data. There is typically no formalized requirements intake process and communication is ineffective or nonexistent.

Every serious BI and analytics group needs a standardized process for requirements gathering. This course delivers that and more.

Dashboards people will actually use

Christopher Rice - Director Marketing Research & Analytics

The dash boarding process that Nick has outlined and detailed in his training will prepare your organization to plan and execute a dashboard that adds tremendous value. I have seen failed dash boarding attempts at my company and Nick’s well planned approach aligns everyone to the same successful implementation. The training was the most comprehensive and complete dash boarding exercise I have seen in our industry.

Direct appliction to my job

Kelly Booth - Business Data Analyst

The course was so great! I learned a lot and really appreciated applying the thinking and activities directly to my work. It was packed full of content and I know I will be able to use in my job right away. Thank you!

Ridiculously effective

Jesse Foley - Data Visualization Analyst

Real-world application

Darryl Moffat, CGA, CPA, CBIP - Materials Operations Business Manager

I’ve been a Power BI user for a year or so and developed some decent Dashboards. Nick’s class helped me put it all together from gathering the correct data to deploying the dashboards. Based on what I learned, it would apply to any BI Dashboard solution.

Nick’s sense of humor mixed with real-world scenarios made it well worth the investment.

Stop being reactive and start creating value

Phillip Simmons - Banking Professional

Nick’s knowledge and expertise is incredible. Nick has a matchless approach of providing actionable insights and information that simply makes sense. He provides real and useful solutions that are invaluable. He addresses issues everyone seems to know about but aren’t sure how to deal with them, and provides wisdom and vision for handling them. You or your business will gain so much value from this course.

Rapid implementation

Stephanie Kuczynski - Business Intelligence Team Lead

I really took a lot from the program and I leveraged it in the office with great things to implement immediately!
