From Data to Ta-Da - The Beginner’s Guide to Becoming a Data Analyst
Date Thursday, Dec 6 Time – RoomTegel
Big Data, small data, analytics, data modelling, visualisation- L&D are not only bombarded with new vocabulary but also with new opportunities. The biggest challenge we face is that most learning professionals are not numbers people, but are comfortable creating solutions, building skills and enabling change. Until now, L&D’s forays into data have been limited to LMS dashboards, yet harnessing data well can provide us with the opportunity to plan, prioritise, personalize and predict. This interactive workshop will draw on Towards Maturity’s own journey with data over the last 15 years. Together we will consider: the first step (it’s not about numbers or technology); the big questions that unlock the potential of data; harnessing surprising data sources and; using data to open conversations.
