Creating and Evaluating Retail Floor Sets with Graph-Based Analytics

A Design Self-Assessment Guide for Non-Designers and Business Leaders

More ML, AI, Data Lakes, and Data Viz alone is probably not going to delight your customers or enable your business to maximize the power of analytics. Brian O’Neill (Designing for Analytics) will help business and technology leaders learn how strategic product design and design thinking have a direct impact on turning data into actionable, indispensable insights and enable business objectives to be met. While there are many great data visualization and UI resources available today, this webinar is more focused on the topic of holistic user experience and the role that design plays in enabling delightful end-to-end analytics experiences that also deliver on the bottom line.

A free Self-Assessment Guide will be provided at the end of the webinar so that participants can evaluate current projects against the design techniques and topics discussed in the webinar.
