Course overview
Decisions based on gut feeling are a thing of the past.
🧑🏫 Learn a straightforward 5-step decision science process designed in the real world.
🚀 Combine this framework and your analysis skills to effectively answer questions and delight stakeholders.
💡 Engage with peers from different backgrounds in our live workshops, access templates and resources and bring your own data to get valuable feedback.
Is this course for you?
01
You're an analyst or person who wants to become great at answering questions. You have a good understanding of data and basic statistics.
02
Stakeholders ask you questions regularly and you're constantly trying to challenge them.
03
You're sick of spending hours working on simple reports and want to do deep analytical work instead.
What you'll learn
Analysts don't usually help take decisions, but they should.
Not only will you learn about Prime Route, my 5-step Decision Science framework developed over several years, but also the background behind good decisions and how to help your stakeholders take better decisions.
Figure out the important stuff.
You'll learn all about enabling stakeholders (and you!) to design better hypotheses. After all, a decision starts with an assumption that we want to prove or disprove!
Data insights are more impactful when reached collaboratively.
Slipping off into the depths of darkness for your analysis doesn't yield good results. With a proven lean process that involves stakeholders during the analysis stages, you'll be answering questions in hours, not days.

What students are saying
Accessible Pricing
Everyone should be able to afford this course!
Where you live shouldn't dictate what type of information you have access to. For this course, I have used a tool to calculate a discount based on how much things cost relative to income, in a framework called Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).
PPP pricing is available for most countries and is based on the credit card booking origin. Discounts range between 20-70%.
As Maven currently doesn't have the technical ability to apply this automatically, please contact me before booking or afterwards to ensure you profit from this discount!

A little bit about me
Matthew Brandt (Matty)
I make data taste better.
What does that mean?
It means that like raw food, data requires careful planning and execution to deliver an exceptional dish (outcome). I guess that makes me a chef? 🧑🍳
In all seriousness: I enable others to use data to make the best decisions by flexing my broad expertise in data analytics. Since over 10 years I've helped design tracking concepts, create databases, build data products and lead endless analysis meetings about what colour the sign up button should be. 😜
My dayjob for a Swiss corporate startup in digital health occupies me full-time. I also teach at the University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration Zurich (HWZ) and University of St. Gallen (HSG), and I'm a prolific content creator livestreaming on Twitch and producing YouTube videos.
Seeing others succeed is what fuels me to keep going. I'm excited to combine my unique experience in data analytics and live-learning and sharing it with you!
