Leading a team into AI?

This course is designed for anyone who reads, records, or relies on information to make decisions: from frontline staff through managers, so they can work with data confidently and responsibly.

The 4 pillars you'll master

  • Data Concepts and Culture
    • Use data responsibly and help build a workplace where people value and trust data for decision-making.
    • You’ll cover: What “data culture” looks like in practice, including ethics, teamwork, transparency, and confidence.
  • Reading Data
    • Find the right information and check it’s trustworthy before you act. Practise discovery (catalogs, repositories) and quality checks.
    • You’ll cover: Discovery skills and quality dimensions, including accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness.
  • Writing Data
    • Record and communicate information clearly so others can use it. Choose the right formats, structure, and tools.
    • You’ll cover: Why organizations collect data and learn the difference between quantitative and qualitative data.
  • Comprehending Data
    • Make sense of information, analyze for patterns, interpret charts/tables, and translate insights into decisions.
    • You’ll cover: What analysis can answer (“what happened?” and “how can we make it happen?”) along with practical interpretation steps.

Frequently asked questions

Useful for analysts too

The course sets a shared baseline across teams and includes interpretation and analysis steps that are useful for everyone.

No tools required, skills that transfer

It focuses on practical skills (finding, checking, recording, interpreting) rather than tools, making this the ideal course for broad adoption.

Do I need any prior knowledge or math skills?

No. It’s tool-agnostic and jargon-free, designed for every role.

Are there quizzes or assignments?

Short knowledge checks follow each section to reinforce learning. No long assignments.

How is this different from “AI training”?

AI readiness starts with human skills: finding, checking, recording, and interpreting data responsibly. This course builds that foundation.
