Most businesses think they know what their customers want — until the numbers say otherwise. This course trains marketing, product, and business teams to replace assumptions with evidence: collecting the right customer and market data, reading it correctly, and turning it into decisions that actually move the business forward.

Working through real frameworks, case studies, and hands-on exercises, participants build the full skill set — from designing a research study to analyzing the results — so insights don't just sit in a report but get applied to products, marketing, and customer experience.
