There is a lot of confusion about analytics—few people agree what it means. Most everyone knows that it is something “beyond reporting.” This course examines the landscape for analytics, differentiates it from reporting, and provides insight into the minds and activities of various types of business analysts. Along the way, the course offers practical advice about how to empower analysts and launch an analytics practice; surveys the technologies and tools to support business analysts and the culture required to nurture them; and covers the two major strains of analytics: exploration and analysis and prediction and optimization.
