With the volume of information growing at a rapid pace, there is an increased urgency to transform and filter large amounts of data in order to identify the actionable knowledge leading to improved business performance. This course is an introduction for the business manager to understand the value, scope, and scale of a business analytics program and be familiar with the processes, methods, tools, and technologies employed in this transformation of data to actionable insight.
