| Essential Spreadsheet Modeling Course for Business Students |
(Fri, 28 May 2010)
|
| Learning the art of modeling constitutes more than exposure to models and computing solutions. The latter has evidently been the primary approach so far. Modeling is really about dealing with open-ended questions, navigating around assumption and trying to make some sense of the situation. It must explore unspoken possibilities and overcome dead-ends. Whereas models try to find the answers, modeling deals with asking the right questions. Without good modeling skills, students are unable to develop simple new models or even adapt old ones to real-world circumstances. Clarifying modeling, Powell proposed a hierarchy of modeling skills: basic quantitative reasoning, informal modeling (e.g. identifying critical assumptions), formal modeling (like Excel skills), understanding models from other disciplines, end-user modeling, understand and work with large-scale models. |

| The Myth of One Version of the Truth |
(Tue, 01 Sep 2009)
|
| Since the advent of MIS (Management Information Systems), the "Holy Grail" has been to create a single version of the truth: a single set of reports and definitions for all business terms, a way, in short, to make sure every manager has a common understanding of accurate corporate information. In fact, an entire industry has developed to help businesses be able to provide "One version of the truth". Today, a proliferation of vendors and consultancies exists to provide software, services, and skills to build data warehouses based on tools and techniques that help extract, transform, and load data, using Business Intelligence tools to exploit that data in many different ways, such as supporting management reporting, ad hoc querying and advanced analysis. |
