Stakeholders and data teams speak different languages, and it shows in requirements that take months, arrive ambiguous and still don’t tell the team what to build. In this hands-on workshop Shane Gibson, creator of the Information Product Canvas, teaches a pattern template for capturing the requirements for one Information Product in 30 minutes, in a shared language. Half the day is spent completing real canvases in small groups. Leave able to run it with your own stakeholders on Monday.
This workshop addresses information architecture in decentralized data environments. It examines how domains document and share data, explores conceptual and logical modeling for clarity and interoperability, and provides practical exercises to design data products aligned with domain semantics. Practical workshop by internationally acclaimed thought leader from Finland, Juha Korpela.
Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence conference in which we cover topics such as AI for Data, Data Architecture, Open Data Product Specification, Data Mesh & Data Products, Data Governance, Data Modelling, Cloud & Data Souvereignty. Seize the opportunity to discuss and network with thought leaders in DW/BI such as Alec Sharp, Rick van der Lans, Juha Korpela and many others. Access to the conference video recordings.
Discover the Delta data architecture: a practical, proven approach that supports the entire data journey, from source to AI. Learn how Delta improves existing architectures step by step, makes data discoverable and reusable, and helps organizations tackle challenges such as data lineage, data quality, cross-system analytics, and AI-ready data processing. A practical session led by data architecture thought leader Rick van der Lans.
A 3-day dimensional data modelling course presented internationally by leading data warehousing expert and author Lawrence Corr, covering the latest agile techniques for systematically gathering Business Intelligence (BI) requirements and designing effective DW/BI systems. Practical, hands-on workshop based on 7W, star schema and BEAM approach (Business Event Analysis & Modeling).
Business processes matter, because business processes are how value is delivered. Understanding how to work with business processes is now a core skill for business analysts, process and application architects, functional area managers, and even corporate executives. This three day workshop by BPM-guru Alec Sharp shows how to discover and scope a business process, clarify its context, model its workflow with progressive detail, assess it, and transition to the design of a new process by determining, verifying, and documenting its essential characteristics. Everything is backed up with real-world examples, and clear, repeatable guidelines.
Data Mesh hands data to the domains that know it best — but the moment they share data products across boundaries, one question decides everything: what does this data actually mean? In this hands-on full day, learn how data modeling bridges business and tech to make data products understandable, trustworthy, and reusable across domains. Model a real domain, understand the intricacies of data product design, and master the glossaries and data contracts that keep autonomous teams speaking the same language. Practical workshop by internationally acclaimed thought leader from Finland, Juha Korpela.
This highly participative data modelling workshop by Alec Sharp covers Entity-Relationship modelling from a non-technical perspective, provides tips and guidelines for the analyst, and explores contextual, conceptual, and detailed modelling techniques that maximize user involvement. It provides techniques for improving communication between data modelers and subject matter experts. Topics will be covered with a discussion of the issue, a review of guidelines and examples, a workshop exercise, and a group solution and debriefing.
Organizations need data science, self-service BI, embedded BI, edge analytics, and customer-driven BI. For many, it is the key reason to develop a new, future-proof data architecture. This two-day seminar by acclaimed data architecture thought leader Rick van der Lans discusses how to design a modern data architecture. Guidelines, roadmaps, design criteria, tips, design rules, use cases, case studies, and practical examples are discussed extensively.
