Even though everyone will tell you communication is the key to success in analytics projects, we all know that projects consistently fail to deliver their desired, and expected, outcomes. While the reasons are complex, in this presentation we’ll focus on exploring skills, both at the organizational and interpersonal levels, that are critical in shaping the success of analytics projects and analytics functions within organizations. You see, the key to success is analytics professionals who know how to communicate up, down, and across their organization, and this starts with sharpening interpersonal communication skills with colleagues, family, and friends. This program will present a scheme, and specific skills, for understanding how to impact success using outstanding communication.
