How to Harness Data for Better Decision-Making
March 28 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
All decision-makers know that data, rather than emotions, must act as the main driver for running their business.
The challenge is that today’s business leaders are inundated with data – their own company performance metrics, market data, economic data, customer data and people data. There’s so much information available that it’s overwhelming.
So, how can executives, business owners and management team members leverage the data at their disposal to improve their decision-making?
This session – on March 28, 2023, at 9 PT/12 ET – will leverage Alex Chausovsky’s expertise as a multi-decade seasoned data analyst, market researcher and consultant to teach practical and actionable methods for leveraging data to improve decision-making at all levels of the company.
Session attendees will learn how to:
- Improve strategic planning by utilizing company revenue, unit volume, etc. to identify trends, track business-cycle momentum, and see around the corner for the next three to six months.
- Leverage market intelligence and economic data to identify leading indicators and segments of the business that will under- and outperform in the short, medium and long term.
- Deploy data for your No. 1 asset – people – to improve your business’s attractiveness to new talent, streamline your hiring activities and improve retention for your existing workforce.
