Business Analytics Executive Overview
Introduction to Business Analytics and Information Economics,
Businesses run on data, and data offers little value without analytics. The ability to process data to make predictions about the behavior of individuals or markets, to diagnose systems or situations, or to prescribe actions for people or processes drives business today. Increasingly many businesses are striving to become “data-driven”, proactively relying more on cold hard information and sophisticated algorithms than upon the gut instinct or slow reactions of humans. This course will focus on understanding key analytics concepts and the breadth of analytic possibilities. Together, the class will explore dozens of real-world analytics problems and solutions across most major industries and business functions. The course will also touch on analytic technologies, architectures, and roles from business intelligence to data science, and from data warehouses to data lakes. And the course will wrap up with a discussion of analytics trends and futures.

not levering interactive tools
Especially for someone interesting in understanding the potential of analytics for their organization and interested in designing a roadmap for implementing analytics.There is a lot of room of improvement in the course, as there is a lot of material, and the course is not levering interactive tools and visualizations that could make it easier to retain more of the information.

The only thing I have feedback to the instructor is sometimes in the video, he talks too fast and speeds up through the content.like reading off a script.
