COURSE INTRODUCTION
Businesses make thousands of decisions a day. Most are routine, many are underpinned by data, and a growing number can be automated. But what happens when the time comes for a business to shift course? Businesses need to be faster and more sophisticated when it comes to decision-making capabilities and are seeking the right mix of mind and machine to leverage data and gain a competitive edge. Business intelligence and analytics is key to enabling successful competition in today’s world of “big data”.
Data is the new oil. It’s valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. This training course focuses on helping participants not only to understand how best to leverage business intelligence and analytics but to become more effective decision makers, making smarter decisions and generating better results for their organizations.
Participants will have an opportunity to apply the concepts, principles, and methods associated with areas of analytics to real problems – from data to insights. Business data analytics is allowing managers to understand the dynamics of business, anticipate market shifts and manage risks. Rather than “going with gut”, companies are embracing analytics to make decisions that improve efficiency, risk management and profits.
