What participants say about our data management course
The CDQ Academy provides fundamental insights on how to become a data-driven organization. I improved my knowledge of data management practices and widened my network within the data management community.
To get a structure and methodology for tackling the complicated topic of data management and data usage, CDQ provides great support with their Data Excellence Model and many more tools. I’m happy to have learned about this model during the CDQ Academy sessions.
The theoretical part in connection with the practical part of this training gave me a really good perspective of how I can handle this in my daily business, address the right topics and ultimately how I can get more results in my projects.
The CDQ Academy is a very helpful session. You will get a better understanding on the backside of what customer expectations to the data quality are. I appreciate the continuous learning improvement process. I was able to strengthen my skills with regard to the Data Excellence Model.
Data practices grounded in academic fundamentals
Since 2013, CDQ Academy has equipped hundreds of professionals with the tools to lead data initiatives with confidence. While our structure has evolved, our foundation in academic rigor and applied expertise remains strong.
The CDQ Academy originally emerged from the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ), co-founded with the University of Lausanne. This academic legacy continues to inspire our methods today.
