I work in another business area

You always wanted to work with data, but life took you into another field?

HR, finance, legal, marketing, sales, quality. Wherever you come from, your business experience is exactly what many data teams are missing. AI is moving into your industry, and you do not want to watch from the sidelines. With a method and a university certificate, you can make this move without starting over.

You have felt this

If any of these thoughts has crossed your mind, this page is for you

"I feel like I am in the wrong place"

You like numbers, figuring out why things happen, putting things in order. But your day is full of tasks that have nothing to do with that.

"Changing fields would mean starting from scratch"

Going back to college, learning to code, competing with people in their early twenties. Just thinking about it makes you want to give up. But that is not the only way.

"AI is changing everything around me"

Tasks that used to be yours are starting to be automated. You want to be on the side of the people who use AI, instead of the people it replaces.

Data governance is a business matter

It covers who decides, who answers, what each term means and how data is used. None of that requires coding. It requires understanding the business, and you already do.

That is why people from HR, finance, legal and marketing can make this move: business experience counts in your favor instead of holding you back.

The most underrated way in

People from the business side bring what most data teams lack: context, access to the people who decide and a view of the whole process.

With method and a university certificate, you can compete for data governance and data privacy jobs, with more visibility and, often, the option to work from home.
