From the course: Data Analytics for Students

Data moves a business forward

- Data is everywhere. For any business, you have information about your customers, your sales, your products. You probably hear a lot about how your business should be taking advantage of your data, but for most businesses, it's hard to know where to start or how you can even take advantage of your data to help grow your business and improve your overall operation. That's what this course is all about. My name is John David Ariansen, and I'm the host of the "How To Get an Analytics Job" podcast. I have years of experience teaching analytics, both online and in-person at Greensboro College. I also run a consulting agency called Silvertone Analytics. Over the years, I've conducted over 100 interviews with analytics experts, hiring managers, and executives. I've been using data to solve my clients' problems for years. In this course, I want to help you harness data to make better-informed decisions. I'll share a framework of how you can start to solve your business problems with data. I'll break down all the data sources and key metrics you should be collecting. I'll also give you a set of tools and actions that you can take now to begin working with and understanding your data. So it's time to take your business to the next level. Join me for this course, where I'll help you start to solve your business problems with data.
