On September 14-15, 2017 Looker held the annual JOIN user conference in San Francisco. One of the sessions was called “Tools for Training Your Team.” This serves to summarize that event! Soon we will be adding a link to a recording of the talk, but you can find slides here already.
Why is Training important?
- Get more value out of your data
- Enable end-users to self service
- Get more data into more hands
- Sales Pitch: Enable end-users beyond consuming dashboards
- Analyst work elevated to higher value
No matter how you deliver training, it is always a valuable opportunity. That is certainly true than whn you plan to gather and hold a live training event. For a guide on how to approach preparing for a data explorer training, see this discourse article. Find in this article below a link to the Fruit Basket Training deck and the corresponding data set to add to your Looker instance.
Though that run-down is great for the context around preparing for a business user training, find here the fruit basket training deck by itself along with two additional useful materials:
