PREREQUISITES

Overview

Today, every organisation is trying its best to use business analytics for its decision-making purposes. It is a must-have for businesses that want to excel in today’s competitive landscape and stay ahead of the curve.

Business analytics is the methodology or tool that breaks down past performances to draw the plan for the future and make informed decisions. It essentially comprises quantitative and statistical analysis, predictive modelling, data mining, multivariate testing, and more. This course aims to equip managers and business executives with the tools and framework to make data-driven decisions. Participants will learn about visualising the insights in a way that’s relatable, making it easier to see what actions need to be taken and ultimately how this information can be used in the business.

Learning Objectives

Develop strategic critical thinking and problem-solving skills using data analytics and Tableau visualisation tools
Learn to tell a story with data to influence human behaviour and improve the decision-making process
Build high-performing teams that make better informed decisions as a group rather than as separate individuals
Become a more strategic leader and decision-maker by understanding the long-term impact your decisions can have on your organisation

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
