Session A: Develop Your Analysts, and They’ll Pay for
Themselves
Pre-Session Poll QuestionIf you could hire only one analyst, would you pick:
a) A domain expert. Analyzed data is useless if you are unable to communicate it to others.
b) A technical wizard. Let them talk to the databases and analyze. I will interpret the results just fine.
Russ StaheliVice President
Peter MonacoSr. Business Intelligence Developer
c) A visualization guru. The right chart will tell me more than any table can.
d) Batman (Sorry. Not an actual choice.)
