Course Overview
Data is now everywhere. Effective leaders need to be able to cut through the white noise and make sense of data to arrive at sound decisions. The crux of this skill lies in analyzing numbers; yet on their own, figures provide little meaningful insight. It is through careful evaluation and analysis that patterns emerge, revealing vital information that aids managers in effective decision-making.
Our course empowers managers with the tools to uncover these patterns. By taking this course, you’ll learn to review and evaluate relevant data sources, identify all factors that impact your decisions, generate actionable insights through data analysis, and synthesize information to make informed decisions. With these skills, you’ll be able to make better decisions that are backed by data, ultimately driving success for your organization.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Review relevant data sources, information and factors that impact insights
- Generate insights through evaluation of factors and data analysis
- Derive insights and projects for the organisation based on the analyses of data
