Descriptive Analytics

What is Analytics and why are companies, enterprises and organisations making data speak?
As data keeps increasing, it becomes a high-value asset from which you can extract decisive information. The question is no longer “do we need analytics?” Instead, the focus is on using tools and capabilities to turn this source of raw data into insights and eventually into action.
Data has become the new corporate asset class. In the MIT Sloan Management Review 2017 survey, 55% of companies said they were effective at using data to guide future strategies. Unlike before when analytics was considered the domain of just data experts, the skill is now essential for executive roles in any domain or industry. As data becomes essential to the growth of every business, there is a need for executives to understand the sources of data generation, learn the tools and techniques to perform data preparation, generate statistical indicators and acquire the analytic skills to describe the data.
This course covers descriptive analytics which is the foundational starting point used to inform or prepare data for further analysis down the line.
Learn how to use tools to perform data exploratory analysis, identify data limitations, and eventually how to resolve.
