The next wave of impactful analytics professionals that can use data to drive strategy and financial results is not going to come from the technical realm. It is going to come from the finance and accounting realm.
"The only impossible journey is the one you never begin."
Tony Robbins Recently my great friend Jordan Morrow and I started a podcast called Transformation Nation. It was a big step because we finally started a journey we had been discussing for a while. Building our your “business and finance” centric data and analytical skills requires practice. Challenge is, there are not many data sets available to practice with that focus on the financial and strategy side of business. We are solving that problem for you.
In college I met a group of guys that loved to meet on a field, carry an odd shaped ball around, and run into each other with no equipment. They called this high intensity game rugby.
One day they asked me if I was interested in playing. It looked simple enough and fun, so I said sure. Data literacy is a skill that isn’t on most people’s radar, but it should be. Everybody needs to be comfortable with data to succeed in today’s digital age. These are core skills we need to effectively process information (and identify misinformation) both inside and outside the workplace.
I stared my career as a finance guy. I loved tabular data and spreadsheets. I looked at a well designed spreadsheet as a piece of elegant art: simple and effective in its communication.
Understanding data is one thing. Being able to effectively analyze it is another. Effective data analysis consists of 1) proper techniques to disseminate data and 2) being aware of cognitive biases that can skew our analysis.
In today’s digital economy, data is currency. In order to understand why it is so valuable, we first have to understand what it is.
What if I could grant you a business super power that would turbo charge your ability to get results and would set you apart from your competition?
What if this power also helped future proof your career? Would you be interested? |
