About The Class:

We are creating and consuming more data than ever before and we have the ability to sift through piles of information stored on our servers, databases, computers, tablets, smartphones, and beyond. This data can be used in powerful ways to make strategic decisions that enhance our bottom line and mission. However we need to understand how to use big data and apply human intuition to harness this tool and make better decisions and predictions that make our organizations stronger.
