Data Analysis Foundation for Business Transformation
Use data to your organization's advantage. Drive your initiatives to success. Increase your knowledge and use of data by leveraging proven Data Analysis and related best practices. 
In a 2-Day 14 PDU/CDU/CEU industry agnostic setting, our most popular course prepares you to choose tools and approaches to working with data toward better business decisions and measurements. Organizations need to make business decisions more quickly and accurately than ever before. Basing these decisions on data and best practice analysis techniques and less on gut feel or "the way we have always done things" is how today's corporate management is demanding information.

A solid foundation of data analysis for Business Transformation and Decision Making are critical skills you should have regardless of whether your motive is to obtain or sustain a competitive advantage or simply better steward your resources to serve customers. In this course, you will learn to use data analytics to create actionable recommendations, as well as identify and manage opportunities where data-based decisions can be used to change the way you do business.

This course is packed full of instructional discussion and materials complemented by carefully chosen videos, examination of industry materials, proven best practices, and exercises in which the participants will gain insight into the practical application of the material. Be prepared to discuss and analyze some of your own challenges with identifying and quantifying the risks associated with decision making and forecasting future results.
It introduces you to many and useful common data analysis tools with simple exercises: Excel add-ins, standard deviation, Random Sampling, and introduction to Pivot Tables and Charts will help you effectively demonstrate basic data analysis functions and reporting in Excel or Google Spreadsheets. You will learn how to gather, analyze, and adapt your data to feed your organization decision making. You do not need heavy Excel, data analysis, data science, or analytics experience.

We leave out or simplify math jargon and complex symbols and equations to concentrate on what your data can tell you and your organization. You will learn how to present to those executives, managers, and subject matter experts who need to quickly make decisions that drive your organization forward. We will discuss how firms, nonprofits, and government agencies get value from Data Analysis, and the tools they use to gather data. These tools include Project Management, Risk Management, Document Management, Business Analysis, Data Modeling, Data Reporting and more. We take time for each learner to address their data analysis questions and challenges.
This course has value for those who seek a better understanding of topics around Data Analysis who want to increase their analysis, data, presentation, and decision support skills, capabilities, and knowledge. You get a course workbook with information to customize and use. Using many exercises and discussions, you will build a plan to implement what you learned back on the job.
