R for Management Consultants: Stop Copying, Start Coding | 1.1 Course Intro

A consultant spent three days rebuilding a quarterly report because two facilities were double-counted in her Excel file. Fourteen tabs, hundreds of linked formulas, and no way to trace what went wrong. That's the spreadsheet that fell apart — and the moment she learned R. This 12-minute introduction previews R for Management Consultants, a hands-on course that teaches R programming from scratch for global health professionals. No prior coding experience required — if you can use Excel, you can learn R. WHAT THIS COURSE COVERS: Nine chapters organized into four parts, taking you from your first line of R code to producing publication-quality reports for donors and program managers: Part I — Getting Started • Chapter 1: Why R for Management Consultants • Chapter 2: R Building Blocks (vectors, data types, functions) Part II — Working with Data • Chapter 3: Importing & Exploring Data (CSV, Excel, DHIS2 exports) • Chapter 4: Data Transformation with dplyr (filter, group, summarise) • Chapter 5: Reshaping & Joining Datasets Part III — Visualization & Analysis • Chapter 6: Data Visualization with ggplot2 • Chapter 7: Publication-Quality Charts • Chapter 8: Descriptive Statistics for Consultants Part IV — Communication • Chapter 9: Reproducible Reports with Quarto Every example uses real-world maternal and newborn health data — facility-level delivery data, neonatal mortality rates, equipment inventories, and training records.
