LEX5104 · Enterprise analytics

Overview

The modern organisation generates a significant amount of data which is used to enhance decision making and improve ESG (environmental, social, governance) performance. Implementing analytics across an enterprise should establish a data-driven environment using the right tools and platforms to convert data into meaningful information for the right end users. This unit explores how contemporary business intelligence, data analytics and reporting capabilities (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau) can be used effectively to communicate actionable insights to stakeholders. You will consider the strategic and technical considerations of designing, delivering and utilising a successful enterprise analytics solution for today’s global challenges.
