Welcome back.

You've just finished week three, nice job sticking with it.

This week was more intense and really went into more details

on the different types of data and analytic techniques and

some of the tools that are used to analyze and visualize data.

>> You started off the week hearing Laurie talk about and

share examples of the different types of analysis techniques that we use to help

solve problems for our client.

You had the opportunity to download the interactive PDF

that gives an overview of each technique.

Keep this and reference it whenever you need it.

Being able to distinguish between these techniques and

knowing what techniques can help you answer your data questions

will help you distinguish yourself from your peers.

You also heard Laurie, Eddie, Amy, and

Rammy talk about quite a few different tools that we use here at PWC.

There are so many different tools out there that can help you perform different

tasks and solve different types of problems.

Mike, as our Chief People Officer, how can a person know all of these tools?

>> Great question, Amity.

At PWC we don't expect you to come in knowing every tool, but

having the base data and analytic skills, and knowing what tools exist and

what they can do, can set you apart.

That's why we're focused on giving you a high level overview of some of the tools

used today for data and analytics.

We know technology and tools are constantly evolving, but knowing one or

two tools very well will help you to be able to learn additional data and

analytics tools in the future.

That's one reason why courses two and

three cover commonly used tools like Excel.

It doesn't matter what role you have in business, it's likely you're going to need

to work with data and perform analyses, extract insights.

>> Absolutely.

You'll find most companies use these tools all over the world to capture and

analyze all kinds of data.

>> Next week, you're going to take everything you've learned in this course

and apply it in a simulation and in the course project.

We'll share more details when we kick off next week.
