Data is the lifeblood of every organization. Data analysis is necessary to scope and manage projects, solve problems well, determine priorities, and spend capital wisely, to name a few. It converts opinions into fact.
The growing awareness of data’s importance has highlighted the need for organizations to build strong analytical capabilities. BUT . . . there’s a lot more to data analysis than the analysis itself.
Many people don’t gain sufficient clarity about the specific data they need and review what they receive to be sure the data accurately reflects reality. Without this vital step, analyses can lead to flawed and dangerous conclusions. This course covers this vital upfront step that leads to high-quality analyses.
