Data Analytics 101 is a foundational course for anyone wanting to understand the world of big data and how to turn data into insights.  This course will teach you to use different types of data analytics in your organization including descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics to find business insights and gain a competitive advantage.

Businesses are creating more and more data.  That data is everywhere.  On average, Google now processes more than 40,000 searches EVERY second (3.5 billion searches per day)!  But what can we do with the data?  And, specifically how do we use data analytics to advance our business?

 The first course in our data analytics program at DBizInstitute.org, we discuss how to use data to solve problems in your organization and to create data assets.  This comprehensive data analytics course begins with terminology and background on analytics including big data analytics and IOT. 

 You’ll also learn the different types of data analytics (including descriptive analytics, diagnostic analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics) and how each can be used in your organization.  As we discuss the steps in the process of data analysis, you will work hands-on from describing the research topic, to methods for collecting the data, to techniques for analyzing the data, to communicating the results, and all the steps in between. 

 The frequent, hands-on activities will help you fully understand and master the concepts.  You will practice creating a problem statement and hypothesis for data analysis.  You will also learn about bias and how to avoid it in data collection and analysis.  We conclude with excellent sessions for managers and leaders on developing KPIs and metrics to run your business and hiring, training, and leading data analysts.

 Whether you are a data analyst or want to improve your data analysis skills, this class is for you.  This course is also recommended for managers looking to use analytics more effectively in their organization or managers who lead data analysts.  This is the foundational course in our Analytics & Big Data Certificate program.
