Learn how to improve business outcomes by leveraging analytics to make evidence-based decisions.
This program provides an analytical, multi discipline-based approach to equip executives with the skills to demystify data analytics and foster better collaboration with data teams. Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and hands-on projects, the program enhances your capacity to leverage growing data volumes and AI tools for informed, strategic planning and decision-making.
In an era dominated by data —and analysis tools such as AI—the ability to lead data analytics is essential for business leaders to stay ahead. Yet, many leaders feel daunted by the growing amount of data and tools available. Many others make the critical mistake of looking for patterns in the data they have instead of framing productive questions to shape the data they need.
In this online program, participants learn how to “think data” the Chicago Booth way. As the birthplace of ideas and methods that define best practices in business data and analytics, Booth equips participants to become world-class analytical thinkers. You will develop the critical and creative reasoning skills needed to frame a data analytics project for optimal outcomes, collaborate with data specialists, leverage new tools such as AI, and ultimately make timely, evidenced-based decisions that drive results.
