Course Details
Data and information isn’t just for analysts – it’s fundamental in empowering everyone to thrive in an increasingly data-centric world.
As the volume of data and its use continues to surge, understanding the basics becomes increasingly vital. This course is an entry-level introduction to this world and as well as providing a solid learning foundation, it will also set out pathways for further study.
Why does understanding data and information matter?
1. Informed decision-making empowers individuals to critically understand and evaluate data. When you can interpret data and convey meaning effectively, you make informed decisions based on evidence rather than intuition.
2. In today’s data-driven world, organisations rely on data to drive business value. Being data literate allows you to analyse information, predict trends, and optimise processes.
3. Being data literate enables clear communication. Whether you’re presenting findings to colleagues or stakeholders, being able to convey data-driven insights ensures effective communication across teams.
