In June 2010, mnarketingQED is delighted to present two training workshops for Tableau Software. Both courses are being taught by the author of the first book on Tableau, Stephen McDaniel. The courses on offer are:

Rapid Graphs with Tableau - 8th June 2010
In this one-day course, you will learn how to create graphs and tables with Tableau to improve the speed and quality of your daily decisions. Topics include thinking analytically, understanding different data types, effective business table and graph design, data access, the power of Show Me! and sharing your work.

Data Exploration and Effective Dashboards with Tableau - 9th & 10th June 2010
In this two-day course, you will learn how to use many of the powerful features of Tableau for data exploration, data management and effective dashboard creation. Topics include understanding common data relationships and the best methods to explore them, the visual perception of data with tables and graphs, dynamic view interaction and navigation, filtering, sorting, brushing, marks, quick table calculations, using Tableau for multiple analytic needs (e.g., correlations, time-based data, ranking, distribution analysis, multi-variable profiles and mapping), data navigation and advanced data management functionality. Dashboard topics include design principles and best practices, common mistakes, layout, interaction features and testing.

In June 2010, marketingQED is delighted to present three courses covering topics in information visualisation. All courses are taught by Stephen Few, founder of Perceptual Edge, a leading consultancy that was established to help organizations like yours learn to design simple information displays for effective analysis and communication. The courses on offer are:

Table and Graph Design for Effective Communication - 22nd June 2010
This full-day course will teach you how to effectively communicate quantitative business data using tables and graphs. You will learn how to select the appropriate medium of communication (table vs. graph, and which type) and how to visually design each component to express your message clearly and compellingly.

Dashboard Design for at-a-Glance Monitoring - 23rd June 2010
Dashboards offer an exciting new way to provide people at a glance with the critical information they must monitor to do their jobs. This full-day course reaches past the hype to give you the unique design skills required to build dashboards that really work.

Visual Data Analysis for Discovery and Understanding - 24th June 2010
Most business data analysis requires skills and practices involving the use of graphs that can be easily learned, but resources that teach them are almost impossible to find. Almost all books and courses on data analysis teach sophisticated statistical and financial analysis techniques, but only about 10% of business data analysis requires them. This full-day course is for those responsible for the remaining 90%.
