Bridging the Gap Between Data Analyst & Business Types

Have you ever been asked for a report or dashboard, just to deliver it to discover it was not what the stakeholder wanted? On the other hand, have you ever asked for a report or dashboard just to find out it wasn’t what you expected? Most of us have been there — and it can be frustrating on both sides of the equation. The question then remains, “How do you bridge the gap and gain alignment between the data analytics teams and the business stakeholders?” Short answer: You learn from those who have successfully conquered this issue! Brett Kobold, Retina AI’s Director of Analytics, will discuss important lessons he has learned that has helped him advance his career and create alignment across the organizations he has worked for like Dollar Shave Club, Workfront, and Adobe. Brett is what we call a “yes and” person who has successfully bridged the gap to create data-centric alignment — and he’s also a pretty swell and entertaining guy too. So, grab your rubber ducky and join us for this educational event! Walking out of this presentation, attendees learn: · Data analyst types will learn techniques to translate the complexity of data analysis into tangible results. · Business and strategy types will learn how to communicate with data analyst types to get the best results. · A better understanding of how to work with and communicate on both sides of this complex ecosystem. · Best practices for alignment when focusing on a data-centric culture.
