Maximize Your Impact: Learn to Make Data and Analytics Your SuperpowerPremise:
No business leader knowingly wants to fail. Each will tell you they are driven to succeed. But are their actions aligned with what can make those goals a reality?
Organizations have more data than ever. But a study by Forrester found that almost 75% of data goes unanalyzed - and leaders who can’t leverage that data for better decision making will always struggle to succeed, especially against competitors who can.
In this presentation, Bob Scanlon draws on over 40 years of experience in data analysis and quality improvement to help leaders, managers, and employees learn the essential skills needed to unlock the power of the data they already have to drive better decision making and breakthrough performance in their business.
Learning Objectives: In this fast-paced and highly interactive session, you’ll learn:
The type of data you need to collect to maximize its value.
The fundamental analytical steps that will unlock the insights the data contains
How to use the data to drive behavior and significantly better performance
How to use the data to identify and prioritize chronic problems that are holding you back.
The essential elements of the metrics infrastructure needed to deliver business intelligence insights throughout your organization
