The Data-Informed Decision Making course provides participants with a framework for using data effectively in any professional situation. This course begins by describing why data can be overwhelming to work with and then explains how to think about data through the lenses of performance measurement (key performance indicators, dashboards, recurring reports) and hypothesis validation (ad hoc analyses). These two applications of data are fundamentally different, but they are related. The course also explores specific tools and techniques for effectively using data in both of these ways.
