Evidence-based management: Data. Statistics. Analytics
This is a comprehensive interdisciplinary programme for managers who want to understand how data, statistics and analytics work and how to transform them into management decisions, strategies and policies.
This programme is unique in its structure, as it is the first to integrally combine data as a source of influence, statistics as a language of precise analysis, and analytics as a decision-making tool. It helps managers not only to operate with numbers, but also to see patterns, trends, risks, and opportunities behind them.
As a result, participants will learn to formulate sound policies, effective business models, and development strategies at all levels — from ministries to hromadas (communities), from businesses to start-ups.
The programme allows you to ‘move beyond Excel’ and intuitive vision and understand the systematic nature of data, statistics, and analytics for decisions, strategies, policies, and scenarios.
This is a unique programme covering three levels:
- Macro level — global trends, transnational information flows, global databases and chains of influence;
- Meso level — national analytics, sectoral data, ministry statistics, economic and regulatory indicators;
- Micro level — data analytics within organisations, enterprises, companies, and teams.The programme works with data in two key dimensions: in the form of numbers (indicators, metrics, indices, graphs) and in the form of information flows (contexts, reports, analytical documents, signals). This approach creates a comprehensive architecture of understanding that allows you to not only read data, but also see interrelationships, systemic consequences, and managerial influences.
THE TRAINING PROGRAMME INCLUDES
MODULE 1. Introduction to data. Networks and ecosystems
MODULE 2. Statistics as the basis for data interpretation
MODULE 3. Sectoral and institutional analytics
MODULE 4. Analytics methodologies. How to work with data.
MODULE 5. Data as a business management resource
