IBCS® CERTIFIED ANALYST – UNDERSTAND AND APPLY IBCS

This workshop will be conducted in Croatian.
This workshop is precondition for attaining the IBCS® Certified Consultant certificate.

What makes reports and dashboards easier and better to understand? Learn the difference between reports for messaging and dashboards for self-service. We'll show you that both reports and dashboards need consistent notation, a well-organized structure, the right chart types, high information density, and proper scaling. Then, through numerous exercises, practice applying what you've learned. Followed by an online test for becoming an IBCS® Certified Analyst.

As an expert in your field, you have processed important and accurate data. Yet it takes much more to present this data successfully to management or customers.

Focus here must be on your message because recipients will only be able to understand you if you really say what must be said. Management reports require clear notation, as is the case with maps or sheets of music.

Certified program for certification IBCS® Certified Analyst. 

Program duration:
The program consists of two workshops: 6th-8th of March, 2024
