DATA MINING: FAILURE TO LAUNCH How to Get Predictive Modeling Off the Ground and Into Orbit

This two-day course will prepare functional managers and analytic practitioners to finally make sense of data analytics and take control of the analytic process. “Data Analytics for Action & Impact” develops core skills for data analytics and lays the foundation for data-intensive analytic projects that deliver insight, clarity, confidence and actionable decision support.
Attendees will learn the four major types of problems encountered in commercial and public sector applications, and walk through a structured development process to grasp key issues they will face for each problem type. Unlike any other analytic or statistical training, this course maintains a decision strategy focus supported by work-along exercises on multiple data sets. The exercises allow attendees to experience and organize the natural messiness of data analytics while reinforcing the skills to effectively drive their own projects. Participants return with a rich set of course notes, analytic process guides, workshop session files and follow-on resources.
