Course overview

An analytical question needs a business purpose. Analysis involves responsibilities, activities and a set of practices and technologies, all of which are examined in relation to organisational decisions and the analyst's role. Delegates frame an issue, establish measures and use logic trees and a prioritisation matrix to guide the approach.

Sources and accuracy matter to the analysis. Quantitative and qualitative data, benchmarks and informational interviews support the collection and validation work before preprocessing, exploration and statistical analysis. Prescriptive and predictive methods accompany an introduction to machine learning. Excel provides the analytical tool for complex datasets, while collaborative case work leads into visualisation, stakeholder needs and presentation of findings in a simulated board meeting, including explanation of the reasoning behind the data.
