Leading Data Informed Decisions for Managers

Managers today are surrounded by dashboards and reports, yet many still lead on gut feeling alone. This course helps leaders use data to make sharper, more defensible decisions without needing to become analysts themselves. Set in the African business context, it shows how to ask the right questions of data, spot misleading numbers, and build a team habit of evidence based decision making.
