Data Skills & Capabilities for Non-Specialists
Date: 30-31 January, 2024
Time: All day
Location: Online
Email: [email protected]
Overview
Build the skills and the confidence to use data to drive decision-making.
Today’s ever-growing volumes of data and the easy access to tools to make sense of that data are driving organisations, both public and private, to use data to answer questions and support decision-making.
Using data to support decisions helps organisations move from a “I think the answer is …” mindset based on intuition to a “I know the answer is …” mindset based on facts. However, simply having access to the data and the tools is not enough to promote data-driven decision-making. The people answering the questions and making the decision must have the ability to define questions in the terms of data and then locate, interpret and analyse the data to come to an answer.
In this interactive workshop, you will learn the language of data and how to apply a simple, structured process that will show you how to ask the right question, obtain the most relevant data, make sense of the data, come to conclusions supported by the data and present the results to stakeholders in a way that is easy for them to comprehend and act on.
Facilitator Steve Remington is the principal consultant and founder of Minerra. Steve is a consultant, architect, adviser and trainer with more than 25 years of expertise in analytics, business intelligence, data warehouse and decision support projects. His background includes seven years of academic research and teaching at Melbourne Business School, Monash University and Latrobe University.
