Be More than an Analytics Person: Here is the surprise, if there is one. It is great to have analytical skills and many firms are desperately in need of these skills. However, firms run a business rich in operations, finance, and marketing (and other functions, too). The analytical challenges and opportunities facing a firm are about more than data. These challenges are about how the firm will invest, operate, market, and set strategy. Relate your analytic findings to business implications and strategy recommendations. In this way, you are driving business insights to action. Firms will highly value that and will set you apart as an Analytics leader!
