Big data…big deal

Information is supposed to make us smarter, but more often than not, it simply overwhelms us.

This program is for you if you feel like you’re drowning in data and unsure which data to use to drive your company initiatives.

The truth is that the amount of data available to help run your business is greater than ever before. To effectively use this information, managers must consider the practical side of big data…what matters to you is how do you grow and build a team to make smarter decisions.

Much of the information out there just discusses the promise of the data deluge. The challenge is not the volume of data but rather the judgment needed to use it.

This webcast focuses on the abilities needed to discover, interpret and deliver data analytics across products and segments.

In this webcast, you’ll explore:

• Specific skills to effectively frame the problem you’re addressing to uncover key opportunities and drive growth
• Critical marketing steps of orientation necessary before engaging tools and technology
• How to simply and quickly amplify decision making by separating the signal from the noise
• 7 key questions you should be asking linking analytics to strategy.

Too often people dive into the data only to be lost in haze of data. This discussion will be pragmatic and immediately applicable to managers across all industries.

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required – However most AMA webinars are recorded for later viewing.

What are the ingredients of remarkable leadership?

Creativity, mental flexibility and collaboration have displaced one-dimensional intelligence and isolated determination as core ingredients of remarkable leadership.

But these methods and mindsets needed to drive innovation are only found by tapping into the discretionary levels of passion, creativity and initiative within us.

This is where “Out Think” leadership comes in.

Drawn from original executive interviews, research and industry studies on the emerging traits of next-generation leadership, this idea focuses both on understanding those new mindsets of the global leader and the methods to apply these ideas in practice to drive competitive innovation.

Get actionable ideas on:

1. The importance, and difficulty of, acting despite uncertainty
2. Recognizing of the #1 motivational factor (it’s not what most think!)
3. Understanding and capitalizing on the velocity of learning
4. Rewarding grit, not talent, and getting people perturbed
5. Ultimately how connection to purpose drives performance

Presented by: Shawn Hunter, Author of Out Think: How Innovative Leaders Drive Exceptional Outcomes
