About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us. She's here to discuss the Professional Certificate in Business Intelligence for Non-Technical Professionals. Dr. Smith, could you start by telling us a bit about your experience in this field? GUEST: Sure, I've been working in business intelligence for over 15 years, helping non-technical professionals understand and use data effectively. HOST: That's impressive! So, what would you say are some current trends in business intelligence that learners can expect to encounter in this course? GUEST: Well, there's a growing demand for data storytelling and visualization skills. Companies want their data translated into actionable insights, not just numbers and charts. HOST: Absolutely, I've seen that too. Now, teaching data analytics and visualization to non-technical professionals could come with its own set of challenges. What have you found to be the most common ones? GUEST: The biggest challenge is often overcoming the fear of working with data. Many people think it's too complicated or only for those with a tech background, but we aim to change that perception. HOST: And how do you approach tackling this fear? GUEST: We start with the basics and gradually build up. We use practical examples and case studies so learners can see immediate results, which helps boost their confidence. HOST: That sounds like a great approach! Looking ahead, where do you see the future of business intelligence going? GUEST: I believe AI and machine learning will play an increasingly important role in business intelligence. However, human intuition and interpretation will always be crucial to making strategic decisions. HOST: It's certainly an exciting time for business intelligence! Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and giving us a sneak peek into the Professional Certificate in Business Intelligence for Non-Technical Professionals. GUEST: My pleasure! Thanks for having me.
