Dear all, RSS popular Professional level course Improve your Organisation with Statistical Thinking has places left for the October 31 2017 London course date. Name: Improve your organisation with statistical thinking<https://events.rss.org.uk/rss/50/home> Date: October 31 2017 Presenter: Nigel Marriott Level: Foundation Location: 12 Errol Street London, EC1Y 8LX<https://events.rss.org.uk/rss/47/13815> Statistical thinking should not be the preserve of technical experts. If your role requires you to understand and make use of statistical data and reports produced by other analysts then you also need to be a statistical thinker. To see how Statistical Thinking will add value to your organisation, then why not spend an enjoyable and eye-opening day on this course, which will change the way you think. Like a taster menu in a restaurant, you will get a sample of how Statistical Thinking can be applied to familiar business situations including risk management, forecasting, customer surveys, product trials, quality control and business improvement. Learning Outcomes How to quantify probability and handle risk when making decisions Learn to spot common mistakes in forecasting and become better at prediction Learn how SPC can be used to put your organisation in control Understand sampling techniques and know questions to ask when interpreting data Know what techniques are used to evaluate a trial and be able to identify effective hypothesis testing in a range of scenarios Understand the difference between correlation and causation and identify good and bad reporting of research Change the way you think about data Topics Covered Probability and risk management Forecasting Performance management Designing surveys Evaluating trials Interpreting research Target Audience This course is for anyone but is particularly useful for "consumers" of statistical analysis rather than the "producers." The course will benefit anyone who needs to read, understand, communicate and act on statistical outputs and who wants to develop their ability to understand and use statistical results. Knowledge Assumed Previous experience with statistics is not necessary. Participants need to be numerate and willing to change the way they think about data.
