Course Overview

An important part of leadership and management consists of defining and solving many types of problems. Inherent in the problem solving process is the task of decision making. The best decisions are those that are made based on fact. Such decisions usually require the use of data. In this class, the overall objective will be to improve your ability to model situations and analyze data to make intelligent, fact-based decisions.
