Every day, companies waste millions of dollars and work hours answering the wrong analytics questions and delivering unusable results. Most analytics projects never produce business value – not because companies lack data, tools, or analytic talent, but because analysts and business teams don't speak the same language. Stuck in their own expertise, the two teams fail to define, explain, or deliver what the other needs, leaving everyone frustrated and resentful.

Imagine, instead, if business leaders fully grasped the extraordinary potential hidden in their data. Imagine if data analysts continuously anticipated, and adjusted to, the ever-changing priorities facing their business colleagues. Imagine these teams collaborating proactively, appreciating each other’s contributions. In most organizations, we can only imagine these things because there is a huge chasm between what is possible and what actually happens.

What's needed are analytic translators, experts who connect the potential of extensive data and advanced technologies, with the practical task of defining and fulfilling crucial business requirements. Through structured discovery, effective communication, and insightful interpretation, skilled Analytic Translators pinpoint key inquiries, foster collaboration, and successfully deliver vital business insights right from the start. This course gives learners the skills, confidence, and perception that transform analytic projects into business value. 

In the Become an Analytic Translator course you will:

• Learn about the role of analytic translators in organizations
• Discuss pitfalls in analytics projects and how to overcome them
• Explore the framework for gathering and conveying information between business and analytic teams
• Learn about essential communication tools for information gathering and project success
• Discuss how to ensure alignment from the outset to avoid the common challenges that lead to projects failing to deliver value to the business
• Study the critical delivery phase where you translate project outcomes into actionable insights for business teams
• Explore the full translation process between business and analytic teams, highlighting common project plans and the three phases projects typically follow
• Examine what effective analytic translation involves from conveying effective messages to emphasizing what and how information is communicated to maximize project success

This multi-module course is valuable to data and business professionals (and the organizations they work for) ranging from the technically proficient to non-technically oriented who want to better understand and develop analytics projects in their daily jobs or expand their career opportunities with in-depth analytics training. It is appropriate for data and business analysts, data scientists and data engineers, organizational leaders, departmental and/or project managers, consultants, business professionals, and anyone else who wants to learn the skills to unlock the full potential of data.

The course is not designed for any specific business domain, and as such is applicable to any business function that is in need of more reliable information, such as finance, manufacturing, human resources, analytics, operations, and more.
