Overview

Want to effectively communicate about your group’s work to others? Want to help your team understand how their work directly supports the company’s goals? Want to successfully manage risks that can hurt your team, and see the opportunities that lie ahead? If you responded yes, business analytics may hold the answers you seek.

Business analytics guides managers to transform data into useful information. This information helps to describe what is going on, diagnose problems, anticipate opportunities and inform action plans. This benefits both you and your organization. Effective business analytics requires knowledge at all levels. This includes strategic planning, goal setting, performance indicators/metrics and data analysis and interpretation. Understanding how to navigate these levels is key for success.
