Business Intelligence

Program Overview

Business intelligence turns scattered operational data into a trusted, shared view of performance. This programme explains how BI works end to end: defining information requirements and KPIs, source systems and data integration, data warehousing and dimensional modelling, OLAP and semantic models, self-service reporting tools, and the governance needed to keep a single version of the truth. Participants assess BI maturity in their own organisation and design a practical BI roadmap aligned with national data and digital government priorities in the Gulf.
