Course description:
Training #1: Power, Politics, Partnership Workshop – Maureen Clarry
The core of this workshop is an exercise where you are assigned a role as an
executive, manager, team member or customer. You then interact in a chaotic,
fast-paced project environment and experience the reality of what makes
productive partnerships so critical, what gets in the way of them developing,
and what role(s) we play in making them happen. Throughout the interaction,
the instructors will teach you strategies to address the issues you experience
so you can immediately apply and practice what you learn.
When you leave this workshop, you will never be the same . . . you’ll be better at:
Using concrete strategies for working more constructively across
organizational silos
Addressing issues systemically rather than personally
Understanding the multiplicity of roles each of us play and how to
approach each role with more effective behavior
Training #2: Agile Data Warehouse Design – Joe Caserta
Agile Data Warehouse Design
What the Agile manifesto means for business intelligence/data warehousing
The challenge of proactive data warehouse development: the need for agile data modeling techniques
Becoming agile: supporting iterative and incremental data warehouse development
Agile data marts vs. enterprise data warehouses
‘Just enough design up front’ (JEDUF) and ‘just in time’ (JIT) modeling
Modelstorming: practical techniques for facilitating interactive modeling
Modeling for measurement: the case for dimensional modeling
Using the 7Ws framework (who, what, when, where, how many, why and how) to discover and document BI data requirements
Incremental data warehouse development using data marts: the Data Warehouse Bus Architecture and event matrix planning
Data Warehouse reuse: conformed dimensions and facts, role playing dimensions
During the HEDW course, Joe Caserta will strive to provide examples and exercises that are relevant to Higher Ed.
