Episode 16: How to become an Analytics Expert

Guests: Daniel Williams, Odile Davis Wolfe, Pete Horgan

QueBIT has grown by cross-training business and finance people in analytics technology, and by cross-training engineers and computer scientists in business and finance. Meanwhile analytics experts such as data scientists are at a premium in the marketplace, and many finance and business leaders are recognizing the need for their business and financial analysts to develop more technical skills, so as to be able to service growing demands for data and insights in support of better decision making! Specifically, there is a trend towards the finance function expanding beyond responsibility for financial reporting, financial planning and analysis into a new world that encompasses data and analytics strategy for the entire organization!

In this week’s episode, we put these two things together: perhaps QueBIT’s experience in developing these skill sets will be of use to organizations that are moving in this direction? We’ll hear from a panel of QueBIT consultants who are relative newcomers to analytics, so listeners can learn from their experiences.
