Overview

Thanks to the ever increasing sophistication and power of IT and associated technologies, along with their reducing costs, organisations now have the capability to acquire and process vast amounts of data.

Yet the possession of huge pools of data is of little value unless it can be intelligently assembled into something that can provide real business value, management insight and predictive capability.

In fact, the possession of such quantities of data can be a real hindrance to intelligent decision making as "the wood cannot be seen for the trees."

Description

What you will learn

Business Analytics may be thought of as a series of skills, technologies, processes and tools by which we can analyse and convert data not just into management information but into predictive insights and business intelligence (BI). This feeds into both the management decision-making processes and corporate performance management framework (CPM).

The aim is to move beyond reporting what is happening and into why things are happening and consequently what might happen in the future. This course looks at the many facets of business analytics and the tools and techniques being employed.

Who is this course for?

This course can benefit finance directors, financial controllers, finance analysts, management accountants, operational and commercial managers and change managers in all commercial sectors, plus public sector and not for profit organisations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
