How to use graphs and charts to display your data effectively to help you make fact based decisions
Displaying Data and Decision Making is a course designed to shed a spotlight on the many process improvement toolkits that employees and organizations have at their disposal. This course will examine advanced process improvement tools thereby enabling participants to understand processes better, communicate the gaps in an easier and more fluid way, and choose the most important gap to close faster.
By the end of this course, participants will have learned how to define the meta-factors associated with each tool in order to simplify them and tell improvement stories in a clear and concise way. They will also gain a better understanding of the history of decision-making in the workplace by analyzing and building decision matrices and will be able to successfully build pareto, run, and bar charts, and design scatter diagrams. Participants will be empowered with the tools and critical thinking skills necessary to develop performance and importance matrixes which they can then use in a variety of organizational roles.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
