An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Data Analysis Techniques
Analysis Methods and Evidence-based Decision-making using Microsoft Excel
Course Overview
The Saudi GLOMACS Data Analysis Techniques training course is designed to equip participants with the skills to transform numerical data into meaningful insights that drive evidence-based decision making. In today’s data-driven business environment, organizations generate and store vast amounts of information, but its true value lies in how effectively it is analyzed and interpreted. This training course provides a practical and structured approach to analyzing data logically, minimizing errors, and extracting valuable information to support robust business decisions. Delegates will gain practical experience using Microsoft Excel, learning to apply its advanced features for statistical analysis, visualization, and predictive modeling. By mastering these tools, participants will enhance their ability to make informed decisions that improve efficiency, reduce risks, and achieve corporate performance objectives.
Through hands-on practice, delegates will explore a range of analytical techniques, including regression analysis, ANOVA, scenario analysis, and other statistical methods, while also developing the confidence to select the most suitable approach for different types of problems. They will build competence in identifying potential errors, applying appropriate interpretation methods, and presenting results in a way that is clear and actionable across their organization. This training course not only strengthens technical expertise but also builds the ability to think critically about data, ensuring participants can avoid misinterpretations and make defensible, evidence-based choices. The outcome is both organizational and personal impact: companies benefit from stronger, data-backed decision making, while individuals become more proficient in using Excel’s advanced functions, gaining confidence to analyze complex data sets and deliver value to their teams.
