You know that analytics can help your company succeed. However, it is not always clear where and how analytics can help. Even worse, it can sometimes seem like everyone is speaking a different language. This course helps you lead your organization to greater success by pairing your expertise about the business with an understanding of where and how data science can help. You build on your strengths to collaborate effectively with experienced data scientists and to mentor novice analytics professionals to engage in the business. You also learn about five organizational styles for analytics with proven business outcomes.

Skills Gained

  • describe applications of exploratory, explanatory, predictive, forecasting, and prescriptive analysis
  • identify different corporate analytical strategies that drive business success through varying cultures of data access, governance, and innovation
