17 Jul What You Think You Know About Data But Don’t

Pluralsight has just published my course on validly using data. I’m excited by the much-needed help this topic can provide everyone using data to gain greater insights and make better decisions!

What’s so important about this course? While most people think you know how to gain insights from data, the vast majority use flawed approaches that lead to incorrect, sometimes even dangerous, conclusions. This widespread data naiveté comes from generations of invalid data practices that have become ingrained as the norm for business, government, education, media, and even engineering and science. In my course, Truth About Data: Getting Started with Lean Six Sigma Analytics, participants first uncover the flaws in the usual data approaches. Next, they learn correct methods for arriving at valid insights. Finally, they master simple practices for communicating quickly and powerfully with data. When they’re finished with this course, they’re equipped to stand out and excel in today’s increasingly data-driven world.

Here’s the course trailer—take a look! And definitely pass this course on to your colleagues and friends. It’ll be a great help.
