Live Online Data Analytics for Business Growth and Development Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 30, 2026 · from USD 800
Firms that use their sales, customer and operating data well spot opportunities sooner, price more accurately and waste less on campaigns that do not work. The week opens with business intelligence foundations: defining business questions, KPIs, data sources and the habits of a decision-making culture built on evidence. Customer and market analytics sessions cover segmentation, customer lifetime value, churn analysis, basket analysis and competitor benchmarking. You then build visualizations and interactive reports in tools such as Excel and Power BI, applying design principles that make dashboards easy to read.
Forecasting and predictive analytics follow, with trend and seasonality analysis, moving averages, regression-based forecasts and an introduction to predictive models for demand and customer behaviour. The final day links analytics to growth strategy, using data to evaluate new markets, products, pricing and expansion options. Exercises use realistic sales and customer datasets to answer business questions from start to finish. Business owners, managers, marketing and sales analysts, finance staff and business development officers who want evidence behind their decisions are the people it suits. Afterwards you can build a growth dashboard and present data-backed recommendations to leadership.
