Ask the Expert on the Roles and Construct of a Thriving Analytic Team

TDWI Members Only

Most organizations believe they will achieve better analytic results if they populate a deeper bench of experienced data scientists and machine learning practitioners. But this is akin to building a home exclusively with highly skilled framers, brick layers and cabinet makers. You’ll end up with a solid structure and great workmanship, but not a true functional home.

TDWI Members Only

Most business intelligence (BI) systems were initially designed to support managed forms of reporting and simple analytics.

Ask the Expert on Data Literacy

TDWI Members Only

Businesses of all types and sizes are becoming more and more defined by their data. As this happens, it is equally important to improve the ability of managers, staff and even the general public, to make decisions which are well-informed by an understanding of the data behind their choices. Data literacy is the ability to understand the nature of the data we work with, and the ways in which we can interpret and communicate through our use of this important resource.
