Live Online Data Analytics for Managers Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Managers do not need to become data scientists, but they do need to ask the right questions of data and act on the answers. This course builds that confidence. You will learn core data concepts, read charts, averages, percentages and trends critically, interpret dashboards and recognize misleading analysis such as cherry-picked time frames or confused correlation and causation before it drives a poor decision. You will also learn which questions to ask when an analysis surprises you, and how to spot data quality problems early.
Practical sessions show how to frame business questions, commission and review work from analysts, manage analytics projects and set data standards for your team. You will also explore building a data-driven culture, privacy and ethics, and turning insight into action through clear decisions and follow-up. Exercises use realistic business datasets rather than heavy mathematics. Managers, department heads, programme leads and executives who rely on reports will benefit most. Participants leave with a decision-making checklist and a plan to improve data use in their area.
