A highly interactive training course on
Data Analytics for Managerial Decision Making
through Enhanced Information Quality
Training course overview
This interactive Data Analytics for Managerial Decision Making training course in Dubai will highlight the added value that data analytics can offer a professional as a decision support tool in management decision making. It will show the use of data analytics to support strategic initiatives; to inform on policy information; and to direct operational decision making. This training course will emphasize applications of data analytics in management practice; focus on the valid interpretation of data analytics findings; and create a clearer understanding of how to integrate quantitative reasoning into management decision making. Exposure to the discipline of data analytics will ultimately promote greater confidence in the use of evidence-based information to support management decision making.
This training course will feature:
- Discussions on applications of data analytics in management
- The importance of data in data analytics
- Applying data analytical methods through worked examples
- Focusing on management interpretation of statistical evidence
- How to integrate statistical thinking into the work domain
What are the goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate data analytics in a decision support role
- Explain the scope and structure of data analytics
- Apply a cross-section of useful data analytics
- Interpret meaningfully and critically assess statistical evidence
- Identify relevant applications of data analytics in practice
Who is this training course for?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Professionals in management support roles
- Analysts who typically encounter data / analytical information regularly in their work environment
- Those who seek to derive greater decision making value from data analytics
How will this training course be presented?
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to data analytics techniques using Microsoft Excel. Delegates are strongly encouraged to bring and analyse data from their own work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content. Emphasis is also placed on the valid interpretation of statistical evidence in a management context.
