Project goals

The goal of the spreadsheet training for Regatta’s employees was to boost operational efficiency, enhance data analysis capabilities, and foster a data-driven decision-making culture across the organization.

  • Implementing hands-on training sessions to develop proficiency in spreadsheet tools.
  • Introducing advanced spreadsheet functions and formulas for complex data analysis.
  • Enhancing data visualization techniques to improve reporting and insights.
  • Encouraging collaborative exercises to foster teamwork and knowledge sharing.
  • Providing ongoing support and resources for continuous learning and improvement.

To test the effectiveness of the spreadsheet training at Regatta, we would conduct pre- and post-training assessments, monitor project delivery times, evaluate the quality of data analysis and reports, gather employee feedback, and compare operational performance metrics before and after the training period.

Final outcome of this project

Over 110 Regatta employees completed the spreadsheet training successfully, enhancing their skills and significantly improving data management and analysis within the company.

  • Increased efficiency in data management tasks.
  • Improved accuracy in data analysis and reporting.
  • Enhanced team collaboration through shared spreadsheet knowledge.
  • Positive feedback from participants, affirming skill enhancement and confidence in using spreadsheets.
