We have almost completed the course. I hope you enjoyed yourself and learned about the business value of data. This course is an introduction to the topic, please feel free to contact The Data Lab if you would like to continue the conversation.

This course was about delivering value so hopefully that key message has stuck with you, use data to deliver value. Look for business outcomes that you want to achieve then look to see how data can help you get there. With this approach you are more likely to get an outcome that results in buy-in within your organisation and future investment.

The steps explored the main areas where people see business value from data:

With the majority focusing on improved decision making and improved operations.
