The training program at Siemens includes bespoke
Tableau training for various departments, staggered over several periods. The courses are specifically tailored to beginners and advanced users, using company-specific data and case studies as a foundation. Participants start with the basics and terminology of Tableau, learning how to handle data sources as well as filter, group, and sort data. Advanced modules cover complex calculations and data visualization. A central focus is placed on dashboard design and chart creation, with various types and design options discussed based on real-world company examples.
The training sessions are held as live virtual classrooms in English to allow for broad and flexible participation. Introducing Tableau helps employees with their analysis work, fosters a deep understanding of data, and motivates them to pursue continuous professional development. Participants learn how to keep track of comprehensive projects while simultaneously performing detailed analyses, helping them grow into experts in their field. At the end of the training, all participants receive a taod certificate confirming the content covered. Custom-created materials also support ongoing engagement with data analysis and promote competence development within the company. "The core idea of an analysis strategy is to move from data to insights. These insights must be clear and easy for everyone to understand,” says Benjamin Hinz, Managing Consultant.
