Overview
Analytics is one of the new hot buzzwords in business. It is touted to improve companies’ efficiency, service levels, and profits and help achieve organisational goals. Can Analytics really do all these? This 2-day module aims to demystify what Analytics is, what it is good for (and not good for), and what are the business issues it can help address. The module also seeks to clarify the difference between analytics and benchmarking of best practices/metrics and profiling, as well as emphasize the importance of linking business initiatives – be it customer or human capital related – to the desired business outcomes.
Note: This module is formerly known as Personal Leadership and Business Success Series: Management Efficacy. Content of the course remains.
