Decision making for managers

Managers must make complex decisions to enable organisational success. Digital transformation and the ongoing emergence of game changing technologies, such as Generative AI, challenges managers to maintain currency in data management. Moreover, the abundance of data generated by organisations can be confronting for managers and particularly challenging when seeking to use data to optimise decision making. This unit is designed for forward-thinking managers who aspire to improve their data literacy so they can confidently engage with the challenges posed by data analytics now and in the future.

This unit introduces a data analytics cycle and a range of analytics tools for managers to harness the power of data. Specifically, this unit focusses on analytics tools for analysis, visualisation, ideation, and extension via generative AI. The unit also provides instruction on how these tools can be used to generate insights for the sense making, storytelling and envisioning required of future-focused leaders who engage managerial analytics.
