If so, this is the perfect place for you to speak about this project and be linked with a volunteer statistician who would work with you pro bono.

If a company requires ways to make the most of its data, is looking for ideas on how to best use this data in decision making, or trying to find the impact its data would actually have, then these ‘drop-in’ sessions are the perfect way to bring expertise and proficiency in the field of statistics into its work.
