Every organization, both private and public sector, is challenged today to turn data into information and information into impact. This is the age of analytics and data-driven business, but the path from data to value can be complex. The right competencies to acquire, integrate, analyze, and act upon data are essential survival skills.

Everyone who works in the field of BI and analytics, regardless of their role, needs to have a broad understanding of the many connected and interdependent parts of a complex information ecosystem.
