Read from our customers on how the Data School Consultants pushed the limits of data analytics and helped solve their biggest data challenges.Thank you for working with me and the Longtail UX team through this Client Project Week. I have been so impressed by your team’s professionalism, technical expertise and enthusiasm this week. I am truly inspired by what you and the DS Cohort 15 have shown us.

It is clear that you all have a passion for data and analytics, and you have mastered Alteryx and Tableau to automate and share critical business insights.
We engaged the Data School team to help us with our data and analytics. At a high level we were looking for the team to help us unlock the value in our archived data.

What a great week we spent with the Data School! We went in hoping we would end up with at least some answers to our many data related questions. We ended up with a terrific proof of concept for the way we could collect and report on key impact metrics. The students were so professional and really worked hard to understand our organisation and the complex data we have available. We are so grateful for the huge leap forward that the Data School has enabled us to take.
The Data School took on a big challenge and we were pleasantly surprised by the unique and creative solutions they implemented. Both the students and our team took a lot away from the interaction.

JLL challenged the Data School team to learn our newly released Viz Guidelines (how we viz), and makeover several key dashboards that needed attention.
On the first day we trained the team on our standards, which compressed their time to deliver. They swiftly organised themselves into pairs, with facilitation from their Project Lead, and eagerly reviewed the problems we were aiming to solve. I was impressed with their engagement, thoughtful questions, and determination to deliver outstanding results. We decided to mimic JLL’s operating model, participating in the team stand-ups each day to help them remove blockers and answer any questions. The makeovers that were delivered provided us with a great platform to improve, and the storytelling was insightful.
The client week was a great way for JLL to find new opportunities in our data, but also to observe the Data School trainees. We believe the investment we made in training the team during the client week, has paid dividends. After Data School graduation we have placed two consultants in our team who demonstrated excellent design and communication skills. They are flourishing in our team, and we look forward to working more closely with Data School.
We highly recommend working with the team to bring your data to life on a client week.
We engaged the Data School team to help us approach a complex text mining analysis task, which consisted of hundreds of PDF inputs that differed in terms of formats, abbreviations and details.

It was obvious that the consultants all had a passion for data and analytics and they knew their way around Alteryx.
We provided a sample set of risk, maintenance and incident related data on the Monday – by Friday we had an insightful and interactive presentation from an amazing group of data analysts.

Thanks you to Peter Kokinakos, James Harvey the Data School coaches Craig Dewar, David Bartolo for having us and Anuj Chopra, Russell Huynh, Tim Rogers for supporting this initiative and our participating audience pathafinders.
In February 2020 we participated in a Project week with the 5th Data School cohort. A team of 10 well-trained consultants, from a diverse range of professional backgrounds, spent 5 days pouring over a problem that keeps primary producers awake at night, namely how to establish stability in output weight.
From a cold start, their curiosity and diligence ensured that they became knowledgeable in our business processes and datasets. Within days they had built a complex data model that incorporated our plans, standards, ongoing measurements and actual weights of chicken into our processing plants.
This was run through predictive models from which they could accurately track the key drivers of weight throughout the lifecycle of our flocks.
This has resulted in a range of insights that are still being worked through by the Farming team. It has been an absolute pleasure to see this Data School concept at first hand, and to see this cohort in operation.
I wish them all the best for their forthcoming engagements.
