Participants will develop an integrated reporting solution using Excel, SQL, Power BI, and Tableau to analyze real-world business data, generate insights, and present structured reports for decision-making.

The Automation Sandbox enables participants to apply the knowledge gained during the training to their own professional responsibilities and everyday work processes. This activity encourages participants to examine their existing workflows and consider how the concepts learned in the program can be used to improve efficiency, streamline tasks, and support better operational outcomes. It helps participants approach their processes from an automation-oriented perspective, identifying areas where structured processes and automation could add value while also recognizing situations where automation may not be appropriate.
Through guided exercises, participants will review and analyze their current workflows, identifying opportunities for improvement through clearer structuring, simplification, and logical sequencing of tasks. They will then translate their process expertise into well-defined workflow structures that outline key steps, decision points, and expected results. These structured workflows are designed to be easily understood by technical automation teams, enabling effective implementation while bridging the gap between operational process knowledge and technical automation development.
