Business leaders know that decisions based on data deliver the best results, but establishing data-driven practices can be challenging. All businesses want to become data-driven, but research shows that only a third of them are succeeding.

This session will present a framework for becoming a data-driven leader that puts “business” back into business analytics. The framework will include how to effectively align the analytics strategy with the business strategy, build business-focused data models and solutions to deliver actionable insights, build KPI driver models, and design root cause business solutions.

You Will Learn:

• How to connect analytics with business strategy to deliver results and drive faster and more effective decisions

• How to empower business users with business-focused data models built for purpose

• How to teach the business to use the power of visualization

• How to effectively engage your data and analytics team with the business

• A case study of a successful application of this framework
