Course Overview
Finance, including HR in finance, is becoming increasingly data-driven. This transition depends on the increasing availability of data and computational power.
Data visualisation is not just about technology. It’s also about intelligence, ingenuity, and skill. It takes great knowledge and discipline to arrive at useful and actionable insights.
During this course we will consider the recent trend of storytelling with data, which has become a distinct, self-contained discipline.
