What is the From Data to Decisions course about?
You’ve built accurate models, but stakeholders still hesitate. They don’t reject the data, they just don’t *feel* it. The gap isn’t in your math; it’s in your message. Without storytelling, even the best predictions get ignored, underfunded, or misunderstood. You're left proving value instead of driving change.
