Get Data Confident with Mike Weston

Everywhere we turn - in business, in the news, in our day to day lives - we are urged to be data driven. But what does that actually mean? For most of us, most of the time, data can be daunting and difficult to understand.  

In this session you will learn to:

🌟 Understand what we mean by 'data' - and know how to distinguish between different types of data 🌟 Read - and begin to great - visualisations of data to find meaning 

🌟 Identify the major fallacies that you'll encounter in data analysis 

🌟 Develop a sense of judgment in looking at how data is prepared and presented 

🌟 Appreciate the ethical - and legal - implications of working with data. 

🌟 You won't leave this session a data scientist - but you will begin to know how to ask the right questions when you come across their work.
