Advancing objectives may well depend on how you collect, review and display analytics. Data can be very persuasive, and using it strategically is becoming increasingly important for many professional and academic endeavors. Learn to select, maneuver and present data to influence outcomes and decision-making. Improve your ability to use data to support your work, and sway those who make decisions about your work or product.
You will learn to transform and aggregate your statistics, and link data to decisions, and quantitative factors to non-quantitative ones. Analysts, managers, engineers, project and program managers, grant writers, lobbyists and proposal developers will benefit from this interactive, lecture-based course. Individual and small group activities reinforce learning. A capstone exercise enables participants to demonstrate principles learned in a manner widely applicable in the workplace environment.
This course may be taken as an elective in the Certificate Programs in Business Analysis, Construction Management, Human Resource Development and Management, and the Professional Concentration in Public Administration Management.
