Who Should Attend?

Executives, CAOs and ACAOs who want to fully understand how to establish and nurture an analytics function within their organization will find the roadmap they need without getting too deep into the weeds.

Department Heads, Mid-Level Managers and process owners will gain an understanding of the analytics process, which will result in an enhanced ability to manage an analytics function and team to maximize the likelihood of success.

Technical professionals with IT and data sciences backgrounds will likewise gain an understanding of how to integrate the technical and business operations to produce meaningful, actionable results.

Why Enroll?

The growing demand for analytics is unprecedented. So too is the need for analytics professionals who are equipped as leaders, capable of aligning teams, navigating the complexity of organizational change, and delivering increased value to stakeholders. For every analytics professional in an organization there are up to ten business professionals who need to understand, and provide leadership to, the analytics team. True success is found in the alignment of these business and analytics professionals with informed executives who ultimately define analytics success. THAT is why Leading in Analytics was conceived and created: To build successful analytics teams.
