Business Analytics and Visualisation

Business analytics utilises data to draw insights, helping inform a business’ decisions with improved accuracy and efficiency. In today’s era of customer-centricity, it’s vital that organisations use data to drive unique and valuable products and experiences for their customers and set themselves apart from the competition.

This course will cover the following topics:
