Introduction
Course overview
Organizations that leverage data analytics are 23 times more likely to acquire customers and six times more likely to retain them, according to a Forbes report. Additionally, McKinsey estimates that data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to outperform their non-data-driven counterparts in terms of customer acquisition.
Data analytics, rooted in statistical principles dating back to Ancient Egypt, has witnessed an exponential surge in recent times due to globalization and technological advancements. With an estimated 2.5 quintillion bytes of data generated daily globally, organizations increasingly harness data to drive strategic decision-making. This surge has led to the emergence of specialized roles like data analysts, data scientists, and data engineers.
