Get the knowledge and skills you need as a leader to maximise the value that your organisation can get from data

Data drives massive gains in productivity, efficiency and innovation. Our Data Leadership programme has been specially designed to give you the tools you need to boost your data knowledge. It focuses on the leadership skills needed to design, resource and implement a data strategy that will enable and empower organisational change.

It is for leaders who know that data represents a key opportunity but who wonder what data can achieve for them, and what their next steps are. The course brings together in-person and remote sessions to cover themes like data analytics and strategy, innovations in data and AI, recruiting diverse data talent and much more.

• Leaders or senior staff in a large firm or organisation who play an influential, strategic role

“I wouldn’t have the same awareness of the potential of data without the programme. Having gone through it, I understand the value in data work and data roles.”

“Where it’s really succeeded is that fundamental positioning of me as a Data Leader – I underestimated my data skills, but really it’s about interpreting information and knowing what to do. So I felt out of depth to start with – but as it progressed, I realised it was often just a matter of terminology.”

“’I have the confidence to talk about data a lot more than I did before. I have come away from the course thinking about bringing on data placement students, and what data roles we’ll have within the business in the future.”
