"Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever, and their ability to put that data to productive use should be a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, business leaders looking to tap into a steady and manageable stream of 'actionable insights' often, instead, get blasted with a deluge of dashboards, chart-filled slide decks, and opaque machine learning jargon that leaves them asking, 'So what?' 'Analytics the right way' is a guide for these leaders. It provides a clear and practical approach to putting analytics to productive use with a three-part framework that brings together the realities of the modern business environment with the deep truths underpinning statistics, computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The result: a pragmatic and actionable guide for delivering clarity, order, and business impact to an organization's use of data and analytics. The book uses a combination of real-world examples from the authors' direct experiences--working inside organizations, as external consultants, and as educators--mixed with vivid hypotheticals and illustrations--little green aliens, petty criminals with an affinity for ice cream, skydiving without parachutes, and more--to empower the reader to put foundational analytical and statistical concepts to effective use in a business context"--Page 4 of cover.
