Enabling Foresight: Skills for Predictive Analytics, South Africa

We can host this training at your preferred location. Contact us!

Predictive analytics has become the most desired form of analytics. Insight is no longer enough and the desire to have foresight is accelerating. Learn how take control of the analytic process and maneuver through the natural messiness of advanced analytics.

Predictive analytics projects are not successful inherently and automatically. They must deliver real organizational impact and mitigate the risks that are part of any complex project. Understanding the role of predictive analytics as part of decision support is an essential first step.

That first step, however, needs to be followed with an incremental methodology that builds toward success while minimizing risk. Within projects you’ll need to understand the methods, techniques, and processes of goal-driven analytics and apply them in the right ways for predictive analytics projects.

The Enabling Foresight: Skills for Predictive Analytics workshop will cover essential predictive analytics techniques and best practices over three days of in-depth, interactive training.

There are no prerequisites for this course.
