The Introduction to Decision Intelligence course gives you a “DI practice in a box”. A step-by-step, hands-on method that has been proven in dozens of organizations worldwide.

(Looking for our US$2,998 live course, including personalized feedback, support forums, and the chance to learn with other DI pioneers? Check it out here.)

You’ll learn a step-by-step, hands-on method listed on three Gartner “hype cycles” and two “impact targets”.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Structure decision conversations around desired outcomes (financial and / or non-financial) and actions to achieve them.
  • Build decision models that connect data, actions, and outcomes.
  • Find simplicity and order amongst the confusion of new data, tools, and complex decisions.
  • Provide value to your data management projects by guiding them towards the 10% of data that has 90% of the value.
  • Earn greater trust and credibility for your team

“Before taking this course, my analytics team wasn’t giving me data in the form that I needed to make good decisions. I would pore over their charts and graphs, and slice and dice the data in their tools, but when it came down to actually making a decision, it was often a matter of politics more than anything else. Now I know how to talk to them: in terms of outcomes I wish to achieve and actions I have to choose. ”
