The current run of The Data Lab’s online course introducing decision-makers to data will be ending on 31 March 2022.
Introduction to Data for Business Leaders – FutureLearn
Data opportunities are not industry or sector-specific. Our four-week leadership course goes beyond the hype of data by focusing on the practicalities of achieving business outcomes. Since we launched the course in January 2020, we have been lucky to get people from across all sectors taking part.
The course content is set out to give learners practical advice. Learners found two elements particularly useful: the workbook – to capture their specific challenges and encourage debate among peers – and the interviews with recognised data experts – to gain insider knowledge and tips for success.
An excellent course, not what I expected but certainly got me alert and thinking differently, already put this into practice daily.
