Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Building the Analytics-Driven Operation - Design
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Leaders and aspiring leaders who desire a compact strategic orientation to evaluate, prioritize and manage analytic opportunity, mindset, resourcing, benchmarking and change management for organizational analytics may attend the Assess and Plan Phases of the comprehensive course independently.
This one-of-a-kind Building the Analytics-Driven Operation | Design course focuses on the most chronic failings of the vast majority of advanced analytics implementations: comprehensive project assessment, design and planning. The analytic professionals who apply the strategic principles in this course will obtain the rare analytic leadership skills to overcome their organization’s ongoing analytic challenges and stand out in this competitive practice.
If you are looking for an intensive vendor-neutral strategic orientation to predictive analytics that is critical to overall project and operational success, then this course is for you.
Who Should Attend Building the Analytics-Driven Operation | Design Seminar?
- IT Executives and Big Data Directors
- Line-of-business Executives and Functional Managers
- Data Scientists
- Technology Planners
- Consultants
Upon successful completion, students will earn 9 INFORMS Professional Development Units.
Prerequisites
Registrants will be required to view a three-hour asynchronous “Core Concepts” orientation prior to attending this event. Access details for the Core Concepts prerequisite will be shared with participants prior to the start of the course. Prior education or experience in data analytics or statistics is helpful, but not required.
What Makes This Course Unique
The developers of this course have been actively involved with the design, implementation and deployment of real-world predictive modeling solutions. Their clients have been richly rewarded by recognizing doomed projects in advance and deriving real value from successful deployments.
There simply is no other vendor-neutral event in the marketplace that focuses exclusively on analytic project assessment, planning and design – let alone integrating seamlessly into an overarching series for end-to-end process implementation. The skills learned in this course are highly valued in the market.
Note that this course does not drill into specific algorithms or tactical implementation topics. For a deeper presentation of modeling methods, algorithms and techniques, refer to the Development Course which directly follows this event. To step through all phases of The Modeling Practice Framework™, view the Comprehensive Experience course description.
