Businesses run on data, and data offers little value without analytics. The ability to process data to make predictions about the behavior of individuals or markets, to diagnose systems or situations, or to prescribe actions for people or processes drives business today. Increasingly many businesses are striving to become “data-driven”, proactively relying more on cold hard information and sophisticated algorithms than upon the gut instinct or slow reactions of humans.

TOP REVIEWS FROM BUSINESS ANALYTICS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Liked everything except the peer-reviewed assignment. Four reviews is too many. It took several weeks to get submissions to review after I had finished everthing else.
A good course that introduces us to the trends / organization roles etc. A few more real-life examples with the actual set up and organization of the data/analytics department would have helped more.
Perfect course for getting an Overview, Current Trends and Implementation of Data Analytics practice in Organization.
Good course that gives knowledge about key positions in an organization.
