Get a competitive edge in the marketplace by understanding data visualization, performing quantitative and qualitative data analysis, crafting data visualizations, and presenting results.
A 2022 McKinsey Report predicts that by 2025, most business problems will be resolved in hours or days instead of months and years, like we see today. This prediction relies on organizations applying more data-driven approaches to problem-solving. To achieve this goal, data must be analyzed and presented in a readily usable form. Data visualization provides a means to simplify data, which lets us tell a story. In this course, we will explore how people process visual information and how to create useful visualizations of data. We will also learn the terminology used in data science, the principles of data dashboard design, and ways to effectively present data.
