You’ll also learn how to translate business goals into measurable outcomes by building a KPI framework. Using a funnel-based approach, you’ll map objectives like awareness, conversion, and retention to specific metrics, data sources, and targets, ensuring every report answers a clear business question. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design data models that scale with your organization and create KPI frameworks that turn raw data into actionable insights. These skills are essential for analysts working in marketing analytics, business intelligence, and data-driven organizations.
