Insights – come from an ability to think about how to approach data analysis
Finance, Ops, Sales, et. al. need to analyze data but are challenged to exploit data sources to uncover insights for better decisions because of two predominate reasons;
1. They are relegated to spreadsheets that limit the size of the data and analytics that can be productively performed.
2. Its personnel lacks the skills to systematically approach the analysis of data.
This course explains why business has to expand its toolbox beyond Excel and train students to think “systematically” to exploit data for high value insights.

Are you 20-30 years behind the evolution of Business Partnering? You don’t know but that is why you need to take this course Business Partner Assessment and Benchmarking.
Business Partner Assessment is a practice to establish your baseline (where you are today) and Benchmarking is to compare that baseline against the external market to quantify your gaps (Gap Analysis). From the gap analysis springs an iterative improvement plan for ‘HOW TO’ achieve your business partnering vision (which is what the entire Analytics Academy is about).
In this course you will learn how the Modern CFO, Next Generation Finance or what we define as The Analytics Business Partner performs at a world class level. We start by defining the Analytics Business Partner concept and how to assess your abilities as an Analytics Business Partner. Then we move into benchmarking and how to benchmark your Culture, Capabilities and Value Creation against you peers. Finally we will explore a company who used the Analytics Business Partner concept as well as benchmarking in their journey of establishing itself as an analytics powerhouse.
Being able to assess your business partner abilities as well as benchmarking your abilities against your peers is critical if you want to develop business partnering as an individual as well as for your entire organization because:
1. How can you make a plan for where you want to be in the future if you don’t know where you are today (Baseline)?
2. How can you set a target for where you want to be in the future (like being in the Top Quartile) if you don’t know what the benchmark is for the top quartile (Gap Analysis)
