Getting Smart With Data in Your Business

Step up your use of data by figuring out how to get the best outcomes given limited resources and use what’s happened in the past to predict what might happen next.

You will need to know about working with several sets of data at the same time, how relationships across different sets of data can be effective predicters of the future and be used to find the best possible use of time and money given rules and constraints governing their use.
