Beer and Analytics…

In these last weeks of summer I got to enjoy lots of BBQ’s with friends around a good COLD and REFRESHING beer.

Being from Montreal, Canada… it goes without saying it has to be a MolsonCoors product.

For those who followed me from my Design Thinking articles, I mentionned I was going to start a blog for my upcomming presentation at TechEd, Las Vegas.

This week-end, I remembered how my session at SAPPHIRE got introduced: Beer and Analytics…what else can be a better match?

Ok.. maybe beer and a good hamburger, with lots of cheese please 🙂 . I wonder how I’ll get presented this time?

I’ve decided to share my journey in preparation for my presentation.

Here’s what I plan to share with you all over the next few weeks.

Part 1 (Story Line)

• Our reality as a new organization and my new BI Business Partner role
• Our Challenge as BI BP team is how will we get users to get out of the old and into the new
• What is our BI strategy?
• First mandate: Build a Reporting Catalogue!
• How do we get there?

Part 2 (Putting all the pieces together with the BI tools)

• Taking existing data and merging it with enriched data
• Analysis for Office & BW Workspace on HANA
• How do we create a dashboard to measure our onging KPI’s as a team
• Design Studio & BI4.1 on HANA

You’ll have the chance to preview some of my material before and even participate.

Oh.. and for those who do not know me yet, here’s an interview I did with my dear friend Tammy Powlas for ASUG annual conference at SAPPHIRE, Orlando.

And one last thing…. I work for MolsonCoors and we brew COLD REFRESHING Beer all over the world! 😎
