Managers like to think they know their team’s business, but data science projects confront managers with new problems and unfamiliar terms, making it harder to understand what their teams do and how they can help them. This course introduces what data science teams do; explores what questions should be asked about the data, analysis, results and actions; examines how to interpret charts and data visualisation techniques and provides practical steps on how to build trust within both the analysis team and within the results. This course will be delivered either online or in person.
Please note: Bookings will close 3 working days before the course start date or when the course has reached its maximum capacity.
