The dashboard you rebuild every Monday because source data changes over the weekend

The situation this course is for

Each week starts with scrambling to reconcile mismatched spreadsheets, inconsistent field labels, and last-minute corrections from regional leads. The dashboard that should take 30 minutes takes 5 hours. Stakeholders question accuracy. You end up verifying instead of analyzing. This isn’t a data science problem, it’s a workflow design failure in how operational inputs are captured, validated, and structured before they enter reporting. Without fixing the upstream collection logic, the firefight repeats every cycle.

Who this is for

Vice President - Workplace Operations at a global professional services firm, accountable for real-time visibility into facilities, hybrid work metrics, space utilization, and operational continuity across regions

Who this is not for

Those who don’t own cross-regional workplace data aggregation or who rely entirely on centralized BI teams with full control over data pipelines

What you walk away with

  • Deploy a self-validating data collection template that prevents input errors at the source
  • Automate reconciliation of regional inputs without manual cross-checking
  • Reduce dashboard preparation time from 5+ hours to under 45 minutes
  • Eliminate last-minute stakeholder disputes over data accuracy
  • Scale reporting across new regions without adding coordination overhead
