Survive & Thrive in a Recession with Statistical Thinking

This course is for everyone but especially managers & directors

We all know that 2009 will be a tough year.  However, history shows that many businesses not only survive recessions, they thrive in them.  How do they do that?  By ensuring all their processes are efficient and are delivering what their clients want all the time.  The only way businesses can be sure that this is the case is by collecting and analysing data about their client's needs and their own business performance.

Unfortunately too many businesses waste time, money and resources on incorrectly analysing their data and end up making decisions that jeopardise their survival.  What they fail to realise is that Statistical Thinking is essential to any decision based on an analysis of data.  Without Statistical Thinking, anyone trying to assess business risks, forecast the future, carry out customer surveys & product trials and manage the quality of their products & services will make elementary mistakes that can be easily avoided.

These enjoyable and eye-opening short courses are guaranteed to change the way you think. During the day, we run four 90-minute sessions which will teach you powerful ideas based on statistical thinking that can be put into practice straightaway when you return to work so that your business can survive and thrive in a recession. You can attend just one session or all of them if you wish!
