Overview
Data analytics has been the hot buzzword the last few years and has even been touted to be the sexiest job in the 21st century by the Harvard Business Review in 2012. Many organizations and governments around the world have invested heavily into technology and human capital in the hopes of capitalizing on the data advantage. While we hear about some of the runaway successes of those who got data analytics right; but for the many other organizations who remain unreported, they have been disappointed by the outcomes. What went right for the former, what went wrong for the latter? What is analytics? What does it take to succeed with analytics?

This half day workshop has been designed to address the above questions and more. It is targeted at professionals who want to learn more about what analytics is, what it takes to succeed and also, to experience how analytics adds value to organizations and changes discussions and how decisions are made.
