Service Description

Build confident, practical data skills you can use with clients straight away. This starter course introduces the core concepts of data analytics in a consulting context, without assuming a technical background. You’ll learn how to ask the right questions of data, choose appropriate analysis techniques, and interpret results so they support clear, evidence-based recommendations. We focus on what consultants actually do with data: framing business problems, working with messy real-world datasets, and translating numbers into insights that matter to stakeholders. You’ll get hands-on practice with common analytical workflows (using tools such as Excel and Power BI), learn how to avoid common mistakes, and develop a repeatable approach you can apply across projects and industries. After 2-3 sessions, you will be able to: - Understand core analytics concepts (measures, dimensions, filters, samples, and uncertainty) - Clean and prepare data for analysis using simple, repeatable steps - Use descriptive statistics and basic comparisons to answer business questions - Build and interpret simple analytical models to explore patterns and trends - Turn analytical outputs into clear, consultant-friendly talking points Best taken alongside: - Data and Visualisations for Consultants (for deeper skills in chart design and visual communication)
