Predictive Analytics Lab

I had the privilege of facilitating an engaging training session on Principles and Practices of L&D Analytics for the executive team of First Quantum Minerals in Zambia. The session focused on equipping leaders with actionable insights to drive learning and development (L&D) strategies through data-driven decision-making. Key areas covered included: • Understanding L&D Analytics Fundamentals: Building a strong foundation in tracking and interpreting data to align training initiatives with business goals. • Designing Effective KPIs: Identifying and measuring key performance indicators that truly reflect the impact of L&D programs. • Integrating Technology for L&D Analytics: Leveraging tools like Excel and Power BI to create dynamic dashboards for real-time performance tracking. • Data Storytelling: Transforming analytics into clear, impactful narratives that drive executive buy-in and organizational action. A key highlight was the practical, hands-on experience of building customized dashboards using Excel , Power BI and Predictive Analytics Lab Location intelligence tool to monitor L&D performance, measure ROI, and track employee growth. It’s always rewarding to see organizations like First Quantum Mining invest in their people by embracing analytics to drive growth and operational excellence. A big thank you to the First Quantum Mining team for their enthusiasm and dedication throughout the session. Together, we’re shaping the future of L&D through the power of data!

🔍 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 📊 As a data enthusiast, I always look for opportunities to integrate data analysis into real-world contexts. Today, I’m excited to share a unique analysis I conducted on the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry Submissions on the Tax Laws Amendment Bill 2024, which were presented to the National Assembly’s Committee on Finance and National Planning. Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) serves as the independent voice of Kenya's private sector, advocating for a favorable trade and investment environment to support the growth and development of the private sector. 📈 Using data analysis, I 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝, highlighting the most frequently mentioned terms such as 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭, 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭, 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐫, 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫, 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. This approach highlights the emphasis KNCCI places on these terms, suggesting that the increasing rates are driving up costs and influencing broader economic factors. 👉 Swipe below to view the WordCloud visuals. Upon closer review of the document, key insights include: 1.      The prominence of words like "𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞", "𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞", and "𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭" align with the KNCCI's concerns about the steep tax hikes being proposed across various sectors. This includes the 100% increase in the Significant Economic Presence Tax rate, the new withholding taxes on public entity supplies, and the increases to excise duties on products like alcohol, nicotine, and internet/phone services. 2.     The appearance of words like "𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫", "𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞", "𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐫", and "𝐛𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞" reflect the KNCCI's detailed critiques and recommendations around the excise duty changes for these product categories. They argue these increases could lead to market distortions, a surge in illicit goods, and higher costs for consumers. 3.      The prominence of "𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭" speaks to the KNCCI's focus on how some of these tax proposals could impact the government's own fiscal position and procurement costs, given the substantial outstanding bills owed to the private sector. A special thanks to Predictive Analytics Lab for mentoring me in Python, which laid the foundation for conducting this analysis effectively.
