Building a Culture of Analytic Excellence
Do you have a strategy for building analytic excellence in your organization?
Your competitors do. Organizations that take an enterprise approach to analytics outperform their competition. By making analytics the cornerstone of problem solving and decision making in every facet of business, you’ll generate more insights, accelerate innovation and create value.
Maybe you work in an industry characterized by speed and precision, but just a few groups in your organization are comfortable with analytics methods. Or maybe you collaborate with a team that doesn’t know the value of data-driven decision making – yet. How do you influence your organization to adopt an analytical mindset?
Join us for a day of disussions on how to inspire a shared vision of analytics use at your organization and the practical considerations for making a data-driven culture a reality.
