Data is often referred to as “black gold,” but beyond the buzzword, it’s really about understanding what it is, how it flows, and how to derive value from it.
This training course offers a clear and practical approach: fundamentals, lifecycle, governance, and applications (reporting, data science, AI).
Its goal: to quickly convey the essentials, illustrated with real-life examples, so that everyone can take concrete action in their own professional context.
