Agile Analytics
Why do organizations possess so much data yet so few true insights into it?
30-sec. pitch

OVERVIEW
Few intelligent business folks doubt the importance of analytics these days. Moneyball didn’t exactly drop last year. Just about all CXOs say that data is their organization’s most imporant asset—or at least one of them.
Paradoxically, though, relatively few firms have moved from theory to practice. Why is this the case?
In this talk, I draw upon lessons from my 2017 book Analytics: The Agile Way.
