Happy New Year to all AllStatters! I am pleased to announce that my company, MSC Training, will be running the course “Add Value to Your Business Everyday with Statistical Thinking” at the Francis Hotel, Bath on Friday 27th February 2009. This is for anybody whose job requires them to use and analyse data to make decisions or to understand the world they operate in. It will be of particular benefit to managers and directors as I strongly believe statistical thinking is an essential management skill since nearly all managers will have to make decisions using data. The cost is £295 plus VAT (£339.25 including VAT) and the following link (http://www.marriott-stats.com/index.php?page=Course+2) will take you to the booking form which also gives more details about the course. Knowing the people who subscribe to ALLSTAT, I do not expect that many of you will benefit directly from this course since you will already be familiar with statistical thinking. However, I am sure that many of your colleagues, managers and clients fail to appreciate what you can offer due to their lack of familiarity with statistical thinking. By attending this highly interactive, practical and stimulating course, they will learn what statistical thinking means and get a taste of how it can be applied to familiar business situations including risk management, forecasting, customer surveys, product trials, quality control and business improvement and thus make your job easier in the future! If you have any questions about this course then please do hesitate to contact me.
