Inside the course
The first chapter establishes the role of business intelligence. The second connects models, pipelines and insight generation, while the third explores dashboards and reports as communication tools. The classroom uses the three long-form teaching chapters rather than adding the playlist's shorter topic extracts and career promotions as extra lessons.
