The Experience And Findings With The Tableau Public

In order for an organization to achieve long term success, it must consistently evaluate those plans and consider all of the organization’s entities and how they link together. By appraising the existing performance management process, it forces deeper analysis of the process, as well as its intended and unintended influences towards employees and the organization.

The Business Analytics Department has compiled this report based on data supplied by DGHG. The purpose of this report is to use this data to answer several key questions set out by DGHG, along with providing information as to whether the company has been meeting its key performance indicators, as set out in the business plan. The questions this report will primarily address, are as follows:

Performance management relates to an organization’s ability to implement a system to evaluate and advance employee performance. Achieving peak performance requires consistency, clear objectives, and constructive employee evaluation. According to Mithas, Ramasubbu, & Sambamurthy (2011), an organization must design the performance management system based on extensive research about the organization’s mission, and then properly communicate the purpose of the system to employees, stakeholders, and decision makers. After the performing the research, the information should be used to establish the appropriate performance management specialized for the organization. In addition, an effective performance management system should align

There is a consensus among the concerned stakeholders that the quality of teachers is the leading factor in determination of student performance. In the case of United States, the student performance can only be given an impetus by the efforts which the state can make, under all costs, to develop and retain high quality teachers. The measures undertaken determine the level of turnover of the school teachers. Lazear (2009) similarly argues the length of employment is a critical factor in averse risks of employment a trend contrary to teachers treatment. The turnover of public school teachers will refer to the rate at which the state, which is the teacher’s

Kola and Sunday (2015) reviewed the controversy surrounding the qualification of teachers and its impact on students’ academic achievement. They used the following indicators to measure teachers’ qualification: formal education, experience, subject matter knowledge, pedagogy studies, duration of training, certificate/licensing and professional development. Even though their review of different opinions on the relationship between these indicators and students’ academic achievement portrays a lack of consensus among authors, there is agreement that subject matter knowledge, pedagogy studies, professional development and years of experience are fundamental and positively correlated with students’ academic achievement. Another important

Understanding and using the data is the most important part of creating the analysis report. Some create charts to illustrate the data. But a major part of understand the data, is to know that it’s forever changing. (Disher, 2007. p.10)

Tableau, a Seattle based company founded in January 2003, is the undisputed leader of the data visualization industry. It is a public company with a market cap of 3.35B as of December 2016 (Yahoo Finance, 2016). The founders, Pat Hanrahan, Christian Chabot and Chris Stolte, were researchers at Stanford, who developed a querying and visualization language called VizQL which forms the core engine of Tableau. VizQL is capable of querying many different types of data sources and combining them into one. This one data view can be used to create customized and sophisticated dashboards. Tableau is such a smart tool that it can figure out the best way to visualize any given type of data, thus allowing even non-technical people to analyze and explore complex multi-dimensional data sets.

Overview Welcome to Module 1. If you have not already done so, read the Program Manual located in the Reference Material section of the CMA Canada Professional Programs website. It provides you with important introductory information about the program. In Module 1 of the program, candidates are exposed to many functional competencies from the CMA Competency Map that involve decision making regarding performance management, performance measurement, risk management and governance, and financial reporting. For assistance when doing their assignments in these areas, candidates are expected to draw on many of their intermediate and advanced management and financial

The literature review brings up some interesting common themes and issues that run through the existing literature, research and definitions of performance management. These common themes will focus on features of performance management and its application in an organisation.

We are creating data in enormous quantities primarily because of improvements in data capture technologies. But much of this data are underused or never being used. A detailed analysis of this underused data is often impractical due to time, personnel, and other resource constraints. Data visualization techniques offer a good means of taking an immediate look at this data for exploring the underlying relationships then analyzing relationships and finally understanding the knowledge embedded in the data. While there is an increased interest in Business and Data Analytics and related areas, it appears that efforts to evaluate their contributions are lacking. The need for developing an unified framework for evaluating the data visualizations is of paramount importance. A special issues just devoted to this topic of evaluating visualizations exploring its complexities (Bertini, E., Lam, H., & Perer A., 2011) highlights its importance further.

Data visualization, where information is presented in a pictorial or graphical format, is helping insurance professionals see things that were not obvious to them before. Insurance companies analyze historical data—which includes information from policy administration solutions, underwriting applications and billing systems—to forecast and predict future losses.

Through a business life cycle of assessing, planning, and acting the data from the assessment phase is key to the success of other two phases. As the business cycles between planning and acting the results of activity need to be analyzed and incorporated into the adjustment of plans. During the assessment phase business leaders place an emphasis on measured business performance analysis to inform the planning phase (or the highest level of planning, strategy development). The empirical data derived from objective assessments and statistics allow managers to report performance trends, planners to make recommendations based on projections, and leaders to make decisions supported by evidence. The first business product developed or refined as a result of this analysis is the business strategy. The business strategy guides management decisions on the utilization of resources and activities to ensure all business equities are working towards common objectives. During the assessments one of the most fundamental of performance measures is financial performance. To understand a business’ financial performance relative to other companies in the industry businesses can use a standard set of ratios; gross profit, quick, current, debt, collection period, receivable turnover, inventory turnover, net profit on sales, net profits to assets, and net profit to equity (Mariotti, 2011). These standards are well established by industry regulation and legal requirements making the analysis and

On the surface, it was difficult to discern the differences between Power BI and Tableau because both tools provide similar functions of visualization. So, I decided to solve some common analytic questions and see if there are differences in terms of user experience. A summary table is created, as shown below, based on the questions solving experience.

Performance management planning is vital to an organisation’s success. Haphazardly stumbling towards goals will usually only end in disaster. It is therefore important that proper planning is executed. Thorough planning allows a company to analyse their exact goals and develop realistic ways to achieve them. Subsequently, it allows a company to

Business Performance can be characterized with attributes, for example as “well” or “poor”, depending on the expectations of the individual analyzing the data he or she has chosen to examine in order to gain insight into the state the company is in at a given moment. Business Performance is of key interest for the top management of a company. If Business Performance is weak, managers need to intervene in order to return to the path of growth. Especially in a market in which competition is increasing and globalization demands for better competitivity, business leaders need to pay close attention to Business Performance. However, although the necessity to partake in Business Performance analysis and evaluation in order to improve policies and processes in easily understood in theory, putting this concept into practice is not as easy as it may seem. Figure 1 displays the Business Performance of a company in relation to its management, to the business strategy and to the company´s processes: It shows the two-sided approach to Business Performance. On one hand, there is a normative relation on the side of the company management (top-down relation). The leadership´s inherent responsibility is to set out a Business Strategy in which Business Performance is defined: Business Performance must meet or exceed the expectations of the leadership. On the other hand, the bottom-up
