Course Perspective
Just wrapped up the course on ‘Ask Questions to Make Data-Driven Decisions,’ and I’ve got to say, it’s a game-changer. I’ve been around the block in digital marketing and programming, but this course got me thinking in ways I hadn’t before.
First off, the problem-solving roadmap was a revelation. Each step is like a piece of a puzzle that helps you see the bigger picture. It makes you realize that analysis isn’t just crunching numbers; it’s about asking the right questions to get to the heart of the issue.
Spreadsheet skills might seem basic, but you’d be surprised how many people fumble here. The course gave me a solid grounding on how to enter and organize data effectively. Trust me, it sounds simple, but when you’re juggling multiple projects, this stuff is a lifesaver.
The segment on using data in decision-making hit home for me. In my career, I’ve always tried to lean into the numbers, but this course teaches you how to actually communicate those insights to the team or stakeholders. It’s not just about having the data; it’s about making it understandable and actionable.
Structured thinking was the cherry on top. Learning how to break down complex issues into manageable parts helps not just in analysis but in everyday work life. It’s a skill that I can see being useful in everything from campaign planning to team meetings.
I’ve been living in Malaysia and Singapore for ages, and I see so much untapped potential here. I’m all about sharing knowledge, especially as I get older. Life’s too short to keep what you know to yourself. I’ve got a family and a kid, and the best legacy I can leave is one of helping others.
So, what’s the plan now? Well, learning never stops. I’m going to apply these new skills and insights right away. And you can bet I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned with my network, especially those in digital marketing and programming. Because at the end of the day, what’s the point of gaining knowledge if you don’t use it to make the world a bit better, right?
