Understanding the true role of an analyst

A successful analyst does more than just translate numbers into words. They investigate, they forecast, they predict, they give insight. Above all, they inform and improve business decision-making.

To reach their full potential and prove truly valuable, they need refined soft skills to complement the technical talent that made them become an analyst in the first place.

We can help you with that.

How to train and retain your analysts

As demand for skilled analysts grows, you need to keep hold of yours by giving them the right training and support.

Our courses

Each of our courses is designed with specific skills and areas of development in mind. Some lean heavily towards soft skills such as managing people, using emotional intelligence, negotiating and influencing, and generally communicating with others. Some are more focused on more technical aspects such as visualising data, storytelling with data, interpretation and commentary, and structuring needs-based reports.

The following packaged courses are built from our skills modules which can also be combined to provide a tailored solution for your own team of analysts:
