Solving Problems with Data
“Analytics” has been a very hot buzzword in recent years; and has led many organizations and professionals to invest heavily in the topic. But not many have it figured out; in fact, many continue to struggle to see returns on their investments. This could stem for several factors:
-
Not understanding what analytics is, what it can and cannot do
-
Not having realistic expectations about what analytics can deliver and how it it creates value
-
Not understanding what it takes to succeed with data analytics
