  Between The Spreadsheets – Classifying And Fixing Dirty Data – Virtual Course

  Susan Walsh is the Fixer of Dirty Data.

  Susan is Founder and Managing Director of The Classification Guru Ltd, a specialist data classification, taxonomy customization and data cleansing consultancy. She is an industry thought leader, TEDx speaker and author of ‘Between the Spreadsheets: Classifying and Fixing Dirty Data’.  She’s also the creator of COAT.

  She has developed a methodology to accurately and efficiently classify, cleanse and check data for errors which will help prevent costly mistakes. This could save days of laborious cleansing and classifying and can help your business find cost savings through spend and time management - supporting better, more informed business decisions.

  She brings clarity and accuracy to data and procurement; helps teams work more effectively and efficiently; and cuts through the jargon to address the issues of dirty data and its consequences in an entertaining and engaging way.

  Susan is passionate about helping you find the value in cleaning your ‘dirty data’ and raises awareness of the consequences of ignoring issues through her blogs, vlogs, webinars, and speaking engagements.

  You can contact her on susan@theclassificationguru.com or visit www.theclassificationguru.com

  In an engaging and interactive presentation, Susan will share real-life examples of dirty data, and the consequences it has on the output, such as decision making, reporting, analytics, AI and machine learning.  You’ll also learn how to make quick, accurate checks and changes to your own data in excel, regardless of your level of experience, and explain why data accuracy and maintenance is so important and implement best practices for this.

  Takeaways:

  • The consequences of dirty data
  • How to ensure data accuracy
