Course Overview

Modern organizations generate vast amounts of data, but without rigorous analysis, information remains unused or misinterpreted. Statistical analysis provides the foundation for evidence-based decisions, from understanding customer behavior to forecasting risks and evaluating performance.

Delivered by EuroQuest International Training, this ten-day course explores descriptive and inferential statistics, regression analysis, hypothesis testing, and predictive modeling. Participants will examine global case studies of statistical decision-making, apply foresight frameworks to anticipate trends, and strengthen governance in the use of analytics.

The program combines conceptual depth, applied frameworks, and governance insights, enabling leaders to confidently use statistics to improve accuracy, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen organizational trust.
