The End of the Beginning

by Thanoshaan Thayalan

Now that we have completed The Data School training, we have now graduated and are entering our time at client placements. It has been an exceptional learning experience during the last four months with really good real life application of our learning. Whilst the tasks required a lot of hard work and high intensity, the results at the end were more than fulfilling and encapsulates the environment at The Data School. The teamwork aspect combined with individual progress was also an amazing balance and one that I would doubt can be matched elsewhere. Having started our first week learning a new software called Alteryx to being able to show/teach people how to use the software at the end showcases the growth we have been able to attain at The Data School in such a short period of time. All of our learning ultimately cultivated at the end with the Dashboard Week, which was one of the most rewarding weeks of training.

Teamwork, the one thing that makes a positive difference to organisations, provided it is effective. As a Teamologist, I help teams measure how effective their teamwork is, as I’m a team-building specialist and international award-winning conference speaker about achieving high-performance teamwork..
