What are our expectations from the Data School (or DS now that we are on first name basis) we were asked this morning. Well, many things:
- First of, the obvious one, become an expert in Tableau and Alteryx
- Hopefully pick up some coding skills to go along (whether in class or in our spare time)
- Combining the first two points should make us very appealing to prospective employers
- Build a network within the analytical world (both of at employee and company level)
- Being able to present dashboards to a corporate audience and them understanding what I am on about
- Being able to teach the skills I have learnt and the audience understanding what I am on about
- Improve my creative skills when building a fancy dashboard (appropriate colour schemes are still a mystery to me…)
- Final and most important point, have fun along the way
Not part of the points above, but I have a feeling that I am going to like Alteryx a lot, so let’s see how this goes… I’ll let you know in 4 months!
