Data for Decision Makers Program
Leverage the power of your organisation’s data for competitive advantage.
Data for Decision Makers Program Overview
The ‘Data for Decision Makers’ program is designed for executives who wish to learn how to leverage data analytics to drive greater organisational value.
Companies currently have huge volumes of data about their customers, operations, and performance – but most are only able to harness a fraction of the full potential of their data. Data alone won’t deliver a competitive advantage.
Data for Decision Makers explores the strategic opportunities presented by data and helps leadership teams use a common language to understand the key drivers of organisational value using data.
By the end of the program, executives will be able to identify the key value drivers, ask the right questions, and make data-based business decisions to extract better value from their organisation’s data assets.
Ultimately, this program will equip you with the skills and knowledge to transform your organisation into a data-driven enterprise, capable of making informed decisions that drive growth and success . You will join over 2,000+ leaders who have completed the course from across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Europe.
