Business Insights: Black Belt Course Reviews

The Delta Black Belt Level 1 course was great!
Due to Covid I took this class virtually and still felt like the instructors (David and Jammie) were very good at getting to know me and engaging everyone. The class size is small so you can all interact with one another as well as the instructors. I felt comfortable asking questions or if I needed further explanations for anything. Examples were ‘real world’ which I believe is very beneficial. I began utilizing information as soon as we learned it!
Thank you for the great course…I’m getting compliments from vendors on the feedback I’m able to provide them.

I’d recommend to anyone looking to advance their careers in retail analytics to take Delta’s Black Belt Training! This course taught me how to approach problems/situation applicable to my industry through many different lenses, and ultimately provide clear thought out solutions. I especially love being able to right away apply what I learned into my work. My coworkers and clients have already taken notice 🙂

Everything was fine, the resources and teachers!
Excelent opportunity to take the risk and change our midset about the information that we provide to our stakeholders.

Delta associates Black Belt training took my category insights knowledge to the next level. Analyzing data is one thing, but being able to concisely communicate the golden nugget with visualizations is another. THANK YOU Delta, for pushing me to up my skills. If you are a category manager, a buyer, or anyone needing to sharpen their market analysis skills, this course is for you!

This has been by far the most useful and well structured training I have ever taken! From the facilitators, to the training materials and practice problems, everything was so organized and made learning accessible and easy to follow (although the course is challenging!).

Jammie Kokesh, was an excellent instructor – thorough, methodical, open minded, and agreeable (to name a few). The class was great, even in the virtual environment. The days were engaging, entertaining, and of course full of awesome DELTA content. Jammie, always did a great job of assigning “real world” examples to specific daily roles – especially since our class was a melting pot of personnel (Sales, Engineering, BI Analyst, Management). DELTA exceed any and all of my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone

This course taught me how to properly analyze business data, identify key insights, and then effectively communicate the results via detailed PowerPoint slides. The skills learned during this class will prove to be beneficial throughout my career. The instructor was awesome and answered all questions thoroughly. My only recommendation is to perhaps spend less time on formatting the charts themselves since preferences may vary from company to company (although I do understand it’s useful to be clean, clear & consistent).

Really enjoyed the class overall. I appreciated the structure of the class because it gave a lot of time and practice to each new thing we learned, thus allowing me to retain the information better. The practice and goal of the program immediately transferred into the real world, day-to-day work. It helped open my eyes to using data to hone in on important insights and how to present these things to Executive leadership in a very efficient way.
The teachers were very helpful and pleasant to learn from. I’m glad I took this course.

What a fantastic course! The instructors are not only intelligent and kind but patient. Jammie, in particular, was excellent. The course starts off mundane but builds on a foundation of thinking and questioning which is essential in the business world. The skills taught allow one to gain a competitive advantage while learning tricks that make data analyzing more efficient and improve daily tasks. Most of all, it allows for more effective analytics and carves out ways to create, build, and present insights. The only downside, which is out of Delta’s control, is the teaching mode- of course, having the class in person would be better; however, the shift to breakout rooms, I think, was preferable. Thanks again to the team, and I look forward to utilizing more of the applications taught!

This class provided the necessary skills to be successful in category management. From learning how to extract valuable and useful insights to building visually effective graphs in precise ways. Different styles and data are studied with powerful lectures to help explain how best to approach data in an organized way. Formulas and calculations are learned that build the basic foundations of forming insights.

If you would like to analyze, deep dive on market situation and your company’s goals, Delta Business Insights is a tool you would like to use more than often.
Delta Insights will always help you to better understand whether your business is on track or not. How to keep your goals on a positive trend.
I would recommend Delta Insights at all levels of business or statistics. 100%

My Blackbelt Delta class was a great experience. I am excited to apply my new learnings into my everyday work. I wish this class was available to me a few years ago. It would have alleviated tons of stress and confusion in my prior roles. The new website was very helpful when it came to the homework/practice and I really enjoyed the Zoom format. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to take their analytical skills to the next level.

I found the program really interesting and complete, we went throught the retail math basics to a complete analysis of a business case. The most valuable it´s that i´m able to practice what i learned in my daily work.
Teacher´s were awesome!! really committed to the class and the student´s,
I highly recommend the Course.

A great learning exposure over the past 6 months to understand business data analytics and to be able to identify critical business insights. Most importantly, to be able to communicate the Key insights in the simplest of language. Overall, the course was interesting at every level and it makes my job faster and simpler as I can now focus on the Key insights that I want to take action on.

Best story tellers always have numbers to back them up and to create a powerful story out of numbers is not easy as it may seem. Steve from Delta team taught us how to crunch the data together, identify key nuggets from the data and then present it in an impactful way.
Thank you Delta team for the support and guidance throughout the course.
