Business Analytics: From Data to Insights

Discussing data analytics

Analytics play a crucial role in helping organizations make informed decisions, improve efficiency and achieve their goals.

Business Analytics in simple terms is transforming data into insights that will aid in making better decisions.  Business Analytics can be used to answer a number of business questions, from driving efficiency to lowering risk.  All companies today are using analytics in one form or another from the simple (Descriptive Analytics) to the complex (Prescriptive). Crunching numbers is a skill, but interpreting the results and determining what to do based on those results are skills that companies are searching for today.

In this program, participants will learn the basics to get started on their analytics journey and will discuss these five key topics: critical thinking, statistics, data visualization, programming and conveying results. Additional resources will be shared should participants wish to further their path in one of these areas.
