Turning Data into Insights: Data Driven Decision Making

"Really useful and very enjoyable"

Environment Agency

Web analytics, performance data, customer feedback, market trends, annual reports and social media monitoring are just some of the data that we come across in our jobs every day. We live in an age where it is becoming increasingly important for us to feel comfortable reading, analysing and understanding this information. Yet, all too often we can find ourselves drowning in a sea of data, not knowing where to start and what it is really telling us.

This course will show you how to navigate your way through the data to turn it into valuable insight to support evidence-based decision making and make it work for you.
