Organisations increasingly value individuals with deep expertise in a specific discipline, such as Data Modelling or Business Intelligence, but also with skills in other areas. These other skills aren’t necessarily at the expert level, and must be complemented by two essential “soft skills” before the whole package works. This is the so-called and often misunderstood “T-shaped skill set” – depth plus breadth plus the social skills that are at the heart of the concept. Applying skills outside your data-related expertise is often an excellent way to achieve your core Data Management goals.
We’ll introduce the essentials of being “T-shaped,” including the soft skills that are at the heart of the concept. Then, we’ll cover real-life examples of core goals being achieved by applying other skills. Useful tips and frameworks will be provided for each of them, with emphasis on these four:
The virtual seminars and workshops will be offered through an online meeting platform, usually Webex or Zoom, from our video studio. The virtual classroom is equipped with multiple professional cameras and microphones and we have a two person crew available so that we can offer a similar experience to that of the traditional classroom and, more important, still offer adequate interaction with the speaker.
The presenter / trainer will still use his Powerpoint, combined with flipchart and paper, virtual whiteboard and physical whiteboard and will be accompanied by a operator / moderator at the scene. The presenter does not have to worry about technical issues such as switching, splitting, microphone settings and such but can fully focus on the course material and on engaging with the online attendees.
All of the above is to ensure that it does not become an impersonal one-way webinar but an interactive virtual classroom setting.
Those attending an online event or a hybrid event with the online meeting platform will be sent an invitiation with the meeting hyperlink and instructions a few days before, so well in advance of the course.
Practically all of our seminars and workshops can be offered as an In-house course for your company exclusively. We can tailor with extra focus on specific topics that apply to your organization. Also available in online format or in face-to-face format with live video stream.
