Data science education

Classes

We offer corporate data science literacy training programs, and will soon launch online and in-person classes that are open to the public. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when public classes are scheduled. In the meantime, feel free to contact us if you are interested in hosting a private class or have specific requests public classes that would be useful for you.

Our training focuses on bridging the gap between business and analytics, and includes both quantitative training for non-quantitative managers and business training for analysts. The curricula we have developed are different from other offerings currently available. There are business focused programs and technically focused programs but very little in the middle. The business focused programs are rarely taught by data scientists, and the technically focused programs are usually beyond the necessary depth to achieve sufficient literacy.

Topics we might cover in a two to three day public professional development program include:

  • How an organization can use analytics to gain competitive advantage.
  • How an organization can get started on the path to gaining value from its data and mature analytically.
  • How to build, manage, and organize an analytical competency.
  • Managing analytical projects for business impact.
  • Principles, types, and methods of data analysis.
  • Data visualization.
  • Driving innovation with analytics.

Corporate training

We offer corporate training services as a core part of our consulting practice. A large proportion of data science initiatives fail due to a disconnect between business and technical stakeholders, so training is essential to success. Read more about our corporate training programs here.
