Data analytics can help companies increase revenue, reduce costs and uncover new business opportunities. However, an effective analytics program requires specific technical skills and sophisticated tools. Many non-profit organizations shy away from data analytics because they are unsure where to begin or what value it brings to the organization. Others see the value but lack expertise and resources needed to conduct meaningful data analysis.

The data analytics workshops for non-profits will address these common concerns. It begins with a primer that outlines the fundamental components and benefits of a data analytics program. Next, participants will be introduced to state-of-the-art tools, applications and projects relevant to non-profits. The workshop concludes with insights on how non-profits can start reaping the benefits of data analytics in their own organizations. Participants will also have the opportunity for hands-on data interaction in the Edward Jones Data Analytics Lab.
