Understanding Data Analytics - Essential for Effective Leadership

Advances in computing power have led to a massive explosion in the amount of data available for analysis.  Many businesses don’t take advantage of the opportunities for analyzing their data and miss out on opportunities to improve their bottom line. Why? Many leaders today have gaps in training and experience when it comes to data analytics and rely on others to help them make important business decisions or lead with only with 'instinct and guesses.'  With today's challenges, making decisions based on data is essential.
