Syllabus
- Week 1 - Driving value from data
We explore the ways in which people drive value from data so that you can start to identify the opportunities within your own organisation. We also introduce the course workbook that highlights the various dimensions you need to consider to increase your likelihood of success.
- Week 2 - Case studies and data analytics maturity assessment
We explore a couple of case studies so that you can learn from practitioners and apply their experiences to your emerging data strategy and data opportunity list. We also introduce the data analytics maturity model, allowing you to map where you are today and where you need to get to to release the value of your opportunities identified so far.
- Week 3 - Fully data maturity assessment
We build upon the data analytics assessment and introduce the full data maturity matrix that looks at what, beyond the data, is needed for success. We bring this to life by learning from the experience of recognised industry leaders so that your actions are realistic, pragmatic and informed by their experiences.
- Week 4 - Execution
In line with the main goal of this course to give you the confidence to start adding value through better use of data, this final week will focus on execution. 3 themes run through this section: Value - overcoming challenges by focusing on the business value; Leadership - overcome inertia by appointing an accountable person to lead the change; Foundations - overcome that lack of assets and skill by taking small steps with partners.
