These days, every business role needs to understand the core ideas, tools and technologies their organizations rely on. This course is a fast-paced, practical, and pragmatic introduction to multiple ways to work with (and think about) data. First, we’ll quickly see how “data” differs from other terms like “information”, “knowledge” — or even “wisdom”. Next, we’ll get clear on the most important jargon and terminology, including “Big Data”, data silos and data warehouses, working with structured and unstructured data, and more. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll recognize the various — and sometimes unpredictable — ways that data can add value to your product, team, or organization.
