Developing Data Narratives
About this course:
In this course, you will explore how to use data and analytics to support business decision making. You will be introduced to a wide range of tools and approaches to find, manipulate and visualise data and will apply these to case studies and identify opportunities within your own organisations. The goal of the course is to develop data confidence and a “data detective” mindset. Hyper Island Sessions are highly interactive and engaging. We let you try things by yourself, work in small group breakout sessions. There will be lots of opportunities to ask questions and engage with the facilitators in the 2 days. We will share many tools so that you will be able to develop data confidence and use back at work.
