About this course
Delivering better data & research insights: choosing the right method for the right question. When someone approaches you with a problem, how do you ensure that the method you’ve chosen will give you answers? How do you distill problems into actionable research or data questions? And once you’ve got your question, how do you decide between quantitative or qualitative methods?
Expect an engaging session filled with interactive activities. So be prepared to have video and audio on for breakout rooms, where active participation is not just encouraged; it’s essential for better learning.
