Data Analysis for Effective Decision Making

Develop Critical Data Analysis Skills

Today’s organisations face both a promise and a dilemma. The growth in availability and quantity of data, as well as the tools to leverage it, is well understood. Every day buzzwords like “big data”, “Insights” and “analytics” permeate the pages of our business journals. However, much less available are the actual skills to truly understand and realise the benefits of this explosive growth. The potential is very real, but comprehensive skills can be scarce, and outside consultants are expensive.Fortunately, you don’t need a PhD in data science to achieve the rewards of good data analysis and management. If you have a basic familiarity with tools like Excel, this Open Day and subsequent 4- days weekend training will teach you the comprehensive skills and tools to maximise and leverage your data assets.You will leave this training with a far better understanding of the principles of data analysis, when to utilise them, and focused business examples of the principles applied in professional projects environments.
