Data Rock Stars Dan Meyer (DMAIPH) and Dominic Ligot (Cirrolytix) have joined forces to offer a unique training focusing on both the Analysis and the Management of Big Data.

COURSE OVERVIEW:
This session is about the basics of transforming data into information: the data value chain.

Attendees will learn how to identify the right data, about how data can be efficiently stored, then transformed into a friendly form for analysis, and finally how data analysis can yield insights.

This seminar will also lightly touch on each aspect of data identification, collection, storage, transformation, and analysis and involve hands-on use of common data management and analysis tools such as Excel, Tableau and SQL, but is designed for those with little to no prior experience with these tools.

LEARNING SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Building The Data Value Chain. Data is pervasive – everything we do in the modern world uses and generates data in some shape or form: from web sites we surf, the social media we consume, to the mobile devices we use to connect and communicate. Modern businesses also use and generate data, from financial data, to customer data, to transaction data and sensor data.

But data is only a raw material. Regardless of amount, the real importance of data is only determined by the value people and businesses derive from it. Getting data is the first step. Then the challenge becomes transforming the raw material into a processed good: information. Information enables decisions, and decisions create value.

LEARNING SESSION OBJECTIVES:

Apply cutting edge technologies to organize, interpret, and summarize Big Data in your business.
Create a process to analyze data and identify patterns not apparent at first glance
Understand the components of The Data Value Chain: Ingestion, Storage,

Transformation, Analysis – and how they are all important to deriving value from data.
Learn database manipulation and processing basics using the Structured Query

Language (SQL)
Connect a data analysis tool such as MS Excel or Tableau to a database to be able to

perform analysis on processed and stored data

Critical marketing steps of orientation necessary before engaging tools and technology

Each team will analyze datasets using the principals learned in the various learning sessions.
