Training Workshops: Business Analytics for Managers Series

The business profession is in a transformative phase with data and technology at its center. Managers are expected to be able to think critically about problems, apply their foundational knowledge to new contexts, know how to work with data, use current technology and, perhaps more importantly, know how to adapt to and learn new technologies. Success in the new data environment requires an integrated set of skills, including everything related to data: discovering them, cleaning and organizing them, analyzing them, interpreting them and communicating them.

FCBE’s new executive education leadership series “Business Analytics for Managers” complements the traditional business education in management, marketing, operations, finance and accounting with data-driven tactics that can be applied to almost every business vertical. We explore data quality and interpretation, while learning to identify patterns, relationships and opportunities that we can use to influence business strategies and tactics. These courses are offered face-to-face and online (see specific course for details). You may register for any or all of these courses as registration dates become available.
