The glories and shadows of data analysis is a practical, but definitely customized workshop that will take you into the world of corporate data analysis. Using a concrete example, you will see how to approach a data set and get the desired result. You will experience what the work of an analyst in a corporate environment actually looks like. The meeting will be in the form of a realistic process, where you will be given an analytical task and see how to approach the problem. This is a real corpo-process experience!
