<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">About this Training Course</strong><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&nbsp;</em></h2>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This 3 full-day training course will introduce participants to the Microsoft Power BI<sup fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&reg;</sup>&nbsp;software solution for extracting, manipulating, visualising and analysing data. This is a very practical, hands-on course that takes participants through a series of exercises which help users understand the Power BI<sup fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&reg;</sup>&nbsp;environment, how to use the key areas of functionality, and how to apply the tools it contains to design and produce analyses of their own data.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The first two days focus on learning the key concepts and practising these using clean, simple datasets.&nbsp;The third day provides participants with the opportunity to apply what they&#39;ve learned to their own data. This makes the course far more relevant and meaningful for them, it allows our facilitator to help them structure their data models, queries and DAX formulas correctly, and it allows our facilitator to help them solve any additional problems that may arise but which were not covered as part of the standard the course. In addition, at the end of the day, each participant walks away with something of real, practical use for their job role. Many previous participants have remarked that they obtained the most value from the course during the third day because otherwise, they wouldn&#39;t be able to do what they need to do.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This is an introductory course and although it does not assume any prior experience with Power BI<sup fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&reg;</sup>, participants will gain much more from the course if they have at least used Power BI<sup fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&reg;</sup>&nbsp;a little prior to attending. Participants who have taught themselves Power BI<sup fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">&reg;</sup>&nbsp;will also benefit from attending as the course will fill-in a number of gaps in their knowledge and will also extend what they know. A general understanding of databases, Excel formulas, and Excel Pivot Tables is useful though not essential. Comprehensive course notes, exercises and completed solutions are included.</p>

Successfully managing smaller projects (In-House)

<p>Many organisations find that project teams struggle to create and maintain effective plans. Estimates are often overly optimistic and risks go unmanaged until the inevitable happens. Resource managers also find it hard to forecast the likely loading on their departments and requests for support are not provided in a consistent format. This programme has been developed to address these needs in a very practical, hands-on format. Case study work can be based on simulations or on the organisation's current projects for maximum benefit to participants.</p>The aim of this training is to develop and enhance participants' planning and risk management skills in order to maximise the success of project work undertaken by the organisation.<p>The principal training objectives for this programme are to:</p><ul><li>Provide a structured, integrated approach to planning and risk management</li><li>Demonstrate practical tools and techniques for each stage of planning</li><li>Show how to organise and involve relevant people in the planning process</li><li>Explain how to use the plan for forecasting and pro-active project control</li><li>Identify ways to improve planning, both individually and corporately</li></ul><p>The course will emphasise the importance of participative planning techniques that improve the quality of plans whilst reducing overall time and cost of planning.</p><p>The course will encourage discussion of internal procedures and practices and may be customised to include them if required.</p><section>

<h2><strong>About this Course</strong></h2>
<p>This 5 full-day course presents the most modern statistical and mathematical forecasting frameworks used by practitioners to tackle the load forecasting problem across short time and long time scales. The course presents practical applications to solving forecasting challenges, supported by real life examples from large control areas. It presents the weather impacts on the load forecasts and the methodologies employed to quantify the weather effect and building a repository of weather normal data.</p>
<p>A good load forecast methodology must improve its forecasting accuracy and support a consistent load forecasting process. The load forecasting widely used in the power industry has evolved significantly with the advancement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Machine Learning.</p>
<p>With the increased penetration of inverter-based resources, the operation of electric grids grew in complexity, leading to load forecasts that are updated more frequently than once a day. Furthermore, several jurisdictions adopted a smaller granularity than the hourly load forecasts in the effort to reduce the forecasting uncertainties.</p>
<p>On the generation side, fuel forecasting professionals must meet energy requirements while making allowance for the uncertainty on both the demand and the supply side.</p>
<p>This training course will also feature a guest speaker, who is a Ph.D candidate to provide insights into the most modern aspects of Artificial Intelligence in the context of load forecasting.</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Sales is a numbers game, and you live and die by the numbers you achieve!</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Yet dealing with "numbers" is far removed from selling, or even managing salespeople, so many sales managers struggle with this side of the role.</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In this course, we show you the basics of forecasting, but it&#39;s not a technical paper or template - you can find these in many places.
<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> We show you the basics of forecasting, and then show you how to apply your forecasts to practical issues, like setting realistic targets, reducing your stress levels, and using (and closely tracking) the right KPIs to smash your targets!</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This course will show you how to set up and use your forecasts in a practical way, to make sure the numbers you hit are the best they can be.</p>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This course will take you through the steps you need to take control of the numbers that define the level of your success.</p>

<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">You&#39;ll start with how to <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">create your forecast</strong> and some of the most common methods used.</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">You&#39;ll then learn about <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">setting realistic targets</strong> - so people are stretched and motivated at the same time.</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The next lesson is an interesting one, where we show you how to use <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Range Forecasting</strong> to manage other people&#39;s expectations - and reduce your stress levels!</li>
<li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Finally we get to the focus of day-to-day management: <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">using KPIs to smash your targets!</strong> You&#39;ll see how focusing hard on the right things will remove distractions, and boost results.</li>
</ul>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">At the end of this course, you&#39;ll know how to use the "numbers" side of your role to enhance the way you manage your team - and get the results you want.</p>
