We implemented the ‘Finance for Non-Financial Managers’ course from LinkedIn Learning, which significantly enhanced our finance team’s digital skills. The interactive modules encouraged practical application, fostering a deeper understanding of financial metrics in a digital context.

Start with the basics and build from there. If your company has LinkedIn Learning as a company learning platform, they offer many great courses ranging in length and level. We are beginning with advanced analytics, storytelling and data literacy and will build from there depending on role and level, competencies needed.

EDx.org has some some great free courses by reputable universities- especially the Harvardx CS50x series (they have one ‘adaptation’ for business professionals)

If there is a specific practical CS skill needed (eg analytics with R or Python, VBA macros for finance in excel, SQL etc), Udemy is the go to.

EDx is more theory, consistent quality and somewhat valuable credentials (paid). Udemy overall has more hands on practical courses
