Data for Decision-Making

Delivered by Executive Education

Overview

Enhance your executive decision-making skills by learning how to leverage and communicate data-driven insights. 

Many of today’s organisations hold massive volumes of complex data across disparate systems. As a leader, it’s critical to understand data management practices and how to unlock valuable data insights. 

Savvy organisations leverage their data to learn about their customers, teams and business processes, to map trends and reveal patterns. Using these insights to inform decision-making is what gives organisations a competitive advantage. 

This course will equip you with the skills to effectively communicate data-driven recommendations that address organisational challenges and drive results. You’ll learn about data visualisation and storytelling strategies while learning from contemporary case studies, industry insights and real data.
