Building a Data Competency Around the Microsoft Suite of Data Products
Host: Chris Sorensen
Info: This session explores the strategic implementation of a robust data competency within organizations that are looking to or already leverage the Microsoft suite of data and analytics products such as Excel, Power BI, Fabric, and Azure. We will describe the many roles that needed to support a well functioning analytics competency across and organization, and not just in IT. Most importantly, we emphasize the importance of empathy across a practice, as you progress on the path to excellence.
