Overview
The role of data in business strategy is rapidly increasing, as is the demand for data-driven solutions to support decision-making in business. Companies need people who know how to unpack data, shape strategies and ultimately help their organizations succeed, but also have the wisdom and compassion of Jesus to make their business thrive.
