Workshop-Syllabus

Module 1: Data, Analytics, and Managerial Decision-Making (3 Hours)

  • Why analytics matters: business value, risks, and common misconceptions
  • Roles in the data ecosystem: Data Analyst, Business Intelligence (BI), and Data Engineering – what each role delivers
  • Data collection vs. data analysis: why more data does not automatically lead to better decisions
  • Framing the business question: defining objectives, constraints, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that guide the analysis
  • Common managerial mistakes when working with data and how to avoid them

Hands-on: Make a decision using partial data, identify what information is missing, and draft the next analysis request.

Module 2: Understanding Analysis Results (3 Hours)

  • How to read reports, charts, and dashboards critically: trends, anomalies, baselines, and comparisons
  • Segmentation and data cuts: time, region, product, channel, and customer type
  • Correlation vs. causation – and how misinterpretation leads to poor decisions
  • When data misleads: situations where “good-looking” metrics still harm the business
  • Contradicting indicators: managing KPI conflicts and trade-offs

Hands-on: Analyze a mini dashboard, identify insights and risks, and define follow-up questions.

Module 3: Data and Visualization Tools from a Manager’s Perspective (3 Hours)

  • The tool landscape: Microsoft Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, and automation tools – who uses them and why
  • Excel as a managerial tool: quick analysis, pivot tables, and simple dashboards – strengths and limitations
  • Power BI for multidimensional analysis: when Excel is not sufficient, governance considerations, and data refresh cycles
  • Risks of blind reliance on dashboards: metric definition drift, missing context, and incorrect filters
  • Choosing the right tool and output for a business question – and how to brief the analytics team effectively

Case study + hands-on: Analyze the same business problem using Excel and Power BI – compare insights and resulting decisions.

Module 4: People, Data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Organization (3 Hours)

  • What makes a strong Data Analyst: analytical thinking, communication skills, business understanding, and professional integrity
  • How managers and analysts work best together: briefing, review, iteration, and alignment around decisions
  • AI in analysis and decision-making: where it helps, where it can mislead, and what needs validation
  • Using AI tools as a manager: clarifying metric definitions, generating hypotheses, summarizing findings, and drafting decision briefs
  • Boundaries and responsibility: confidentiality, compliance, verification, and human accountability

Hands-on: Design a workflow (people + tools + AI) for a cross-departmental use case.

Module 5: From Insights to Business Action (3 Hours)

  • Turning insights into decisions: evaluating options, assumptions, risks, and potential business impact
  • Prioritization frameworks: effort vs. impact, risk vs. reward, and quick wins vs. strategic initiatives
  • Validating decisions: leading vs. lagging indicators, experiments, and feedback loops
  • Embedding data into ongoing management processes
