PICTURE THIS
You're stepping into the role of a Data Consultant at a large multinational corporation. Your team will be entrusted by the CEO for an important undertaking: to swiftly evaluate the health and well-being of the organization.
Armed with an array of CSV and Excel files, you and your team dive deep into the data, transforming raw numbers into meaningful, actionable insights. You begin cleaning, combining and consolidating your data sources. Together, you strategize, analyze, and visualize, crafting a series of compelling dashboards that bring clarity to the complexity.
You have 3.5 hours for these tasks. As the clock ticks down, the time to present your findings to the executive management approaches. With five minutes on the clock, you have the chance to demonstrate your team's analytical prowess and innovative thinking. The eyes of the jury are on you, their judgement based on objective criteria revealed only during the event.
In this high-pressure scenario, the Argusa Data Challenge tests the boundaries of your team's abilities. Can you rise to the occasion? Are you the skilled problem solvers that are needed?
