Page 4 of 14 Aim of the assignment Your assignment in this course consists of two parts: Part 1 is a proposal to develop a dashboard for an organisation for the CEO. Part 2 is the working dashboard proposed in Part 1, built using Tableau. The proposal and the dashboard together will give you practice at what would be a real-world analytics project. As a Business Intelligence (BI) consultant if your proposal (Part 1) were accepted, the organisation would pay you to do the work (Part 2). Otherwise you wouldn’t have a job. This assignment also aims to develop: 1. Your knowledge and skills in using data that is specific to the degree you are doing. 2. Your ability to show how data is relevant and useful. Data (and so Business Intelligence) is used in all jobs, all organisations and all sectors, as well as complex areas such as climate change, personal relationships and organisational culture; and 3. Your ability to understand your reader’s perspective and needs, and being able to respond to those needs. Business intelligence provides a means to see and understand a business problem and when done well, reveals new solutions the organisation didn’t even consider. We hope you enjoy the challenge of this assignment and look forward to seeing what you come up with! As well as this guide we’ll also provide guidance and examples in the Workshops, Practicals and Online Forums.
