NEW COURSE LAUNCHes JULY 6TH

$799

Use data to uncover opportunities for innovative solutions

In an increasingly data-filled world, more stakeholders call for data-driven solutions. But there are limits to what data can do, and paying attention to the human side of data is essential to develop actionable insights. Whether you find yourself with too much data or not enough, or somewhere in between, it can be hard to know what to focus on, confidently make recommendations, and navigate toward innovative solutions.

In this course, you’ll learn how to use data to build an understanding of people and uncover opportunities for innovation.

Note: This course does not focus on technical skills like statistical modeling and analysis. Instead, we'll show you how to use data to enrich your understanding of people and problems with tools and techniques anyone can use.
