Making Sense of Data

OVERVIEW

Data is an increasingly relevant and fundamental part of our daily life. Forbes indicates that there are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created every day and the pace of creation is only increasing. Ninety percent of the data in the world was generated in the last two years. Our need to adapt and understand this is therefore urgent. The aim of this series is to promote a clear understanding of the use of data for reporting and analysis.

 

This innovative and interactive program is designed to provide a practical and valuable opportunity to explore the collection, analysis and reporting of data.  The programme consists of a combination of presentations, workshop sessions, and practical planning activities to enhance and deepen understanding. Participants will have the opportunity to:

1. Consider the value of data and the different forms it can take
2. Develop their ability to accurately comment on data
3. Increase understanding of the language used for reporting data
4. Identify facts, interpret data and make valid claims
5. Understand the reporting of data in context
6. Explore the issue of hedging and use of data expressions
7. Acknowledge limitations in data collection and respond and report accordingly

Sessions are designed to provide a comprehensive review of the key elements and techniques involved in data use.
