ABOUT THIS COURSE
About this course
In our technologically driven world, organisations need to stay relevant, sustainable, differentiate themselves from their competitors and make informed decisions. To do this, an organisation must be able to gather and analyse the data available to it, like customer satisfaction or changes in the market, and present the data in a visual format that will support data-driven decision making. Some other advantages of good data analysis include risk management, process optimisation and customer satisfaction.
This data analysis course teaches learners what the role and value of data analysis are in managing a business. Learners will be able to use data analytics tools and techniques to improve sound decision making in their organisation and learn how to represent the data analysis visually so that all stakeholders can interpret and use the data efficiently.
This course is ideal for:
- Individuals in an organisation who want to improve buy-in from stakeholders through accurate data visualisation
- Individuals that work with data and who want to learn how to present and communicate insights more clearly
- Anyone that is interested in learning about data analysis, provided they have background knowledge on the subject as the course content is advanced
