SAC Mastery: Scripting, Predictive & Advanced Planning

For SAC consultants with 1–3 years of experience who want to move beyond standard stories and basic planning. Custom scripting, predictive analytics, and advanced driver-based planning — the specialist skills that separate a confident SAC user from a true expert.

⚠ Prerequisite: solid SAC literacy — comfortable building stories, models & basic planning apps already

You've shipped SAC stories and maybe some planning models. Now clients are asking: can we forecast this automatically? Can this app react dynamically when I change a filter? Can we simulate different scenarios with drivers and allocations? This course is the deepest technical layer of SAC — built for consultants who already have the fundamentals and want real expert-level range. You'll move from "I can build stories" to "I can build scripted applications, forecasts, and scenario models that clients pay a premium for."

Who this is for: SAC consultants (1–3 years) who want to own the complex pieces of a project; BI/planning analysts moving into more technical SAC work; implementation partners who need reusable scripting and forecasting patterns across clients. You should already be comfortable creating stories, models, and data connections in SAC, plus basic planning concepts. Still learning what a story vs. model is? Start with the Foundational path first.

  • Week 1 — Advanced SAC Architecture & Performance
  • Week 2 — Smart Insights, Smart Discovery & Business AI
  • Week 3 — Predictive Analytics with Smart Predict
  • Week 4 — Analytics Designer Foundations
  • Week 5 — Advanced Scripting Patterns
  • Week 6 — Advanced Driver-Based Planning & Capstone

Certificate of Completion: "SAC Mastery: Scripting, Predictive & Advanced Planning." You'll also leave with a portfolio piece — your capstone planning/predictive app, ready to show clients or employers.

Career support covers how to position yourself as an SAC specialist (vs. general BI consultant), and how to package scripting/predictive work in proposals, SOWs, and rate discussions — aimed at moving you from junior/mid SAC consultant toward senior/specialist rate cards. Delivery includes live instructor-led sessions, self-paced labs, optional office hours, and reusable resources (scripting snippets, planning templates, reference architectures).

$350 one-time — includes lifetime access to lessons, labs, and capstone feedback. Group and corporate cohort pricing available on request. See enrollment details below ↓
