Last Friday the #AcademicProgram had our final Educator Ambassador meeting of the year. The aim of this session was to give something to our Educators that they could take with them to their classes and use to get their students excited about Qlik Sense Business in the real world. With this in mind we had three presenters, firstly one of our Qlik customers, Enolytics, spoke to us about how the wine and spirits industry is learning to harness data for growth, and how Qlik Sense is helping producers better understand their customers.
We then had some of our own Qlikkies present on how their customers are using Qlik. Firstly, Patrick Stevens took us through a couple of success stories regarding financial service, HSBC and Lloyd’s of London. The success story regarding Lloyd’s of London was particularly interesting since the insurance industry is traditionally very old fashioned when it comes to recording and utilizing data. Something that it has in common with the wine and spirits industry.
Nick Ward then discussed the work he does with two NHS trusts; Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay. This part of our meeting was especially poignant given the ongoing pandemic. It was interesting to understand how data can be utilized in the healthcare industry to save the valuable time of healthcare staff and improve on patient waiting times.
The key takeaway from these presentations seemed to be that no matter which industry you’re working in, utilizing your data is necessary for growth and progress. This is a powerful message to communicate to students as regardless of the industry they gain employment in, honing their data skills now will be a great asset to them in the future.
We have recently closed applications for our next cohort of Educator Ambassadors, so watch this space for updates!
