LEAN Thinking for Big Data Analytics
CSE-41296
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent figures, overall employment of mathematicians and statisticians is projected to grow 30 percent from 2018 to 2028 - much faster than the average for all occupations. Businesses will need these workers to analyze the increasing volume of digital and electronic data. With the explosion of data and analysts, it has become increasingly important for companies to hire managers capable of achieving business objectives by leveraging data best practices.
This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to pivot your workplace into a data-driven organization. By examining industry case studies, lessons learned, and the latest data analytics tools and platforms, you will learn how best to gain actionable insights from big data as well as to develop data solutions and data transformation road maps for businesses of varying sizes and complexity levels.
