Excel Scratch


In the business landscape today there is a new currency.  There is a new skill set that every employee, Manager, Director and yes the CEO must have.  That new currency is called Analytics. This skill set is a combination of perspective and technical skills.  We are living in a world where data is in abundance but the ability to understanding it is at a dearth.  In our latest white paper Business Analytics For All we discuss reasons why everyone from the CEO to the Clerk must have an analytical mind.
 

Excel at Work. Excel at Business. Excel.
