About the Webinar
There will be times when, despite efforts to increase literacy overall, there is a communication gap between those creating analytic output and those consuming it. Analytic translators are professionals who understand both analytic and business concepts and are trained in communication techniques that promote alignment. In this session, we will talk about what analytic translators do and explore when it may be time to bring in a translator.
About the Speakers
For over 35 years, Wendy Lynch, PhD has converted complex analytics into business value. At heart, she is a sense-maker and translator. A consultant to numerous Fortune 100 companies, her current work focuses on the application of Big Data solutions in Human Capital Management. Through her roles in diverse work settings—including digital start-ups, century-old insurers, academic medical centers, consulting firms, health care providers and the board room—she became familiar with (and fascinated by) the unique language of each. She also became familiar with the difficult dynamic that often exists between business and analytic teams—preventing them from collaborating effectively. Those experiences led to her true passion of promoting clear and meaningful conversations that produce mutual understanding and success. The result is her new book Become an Analytic Translator, and an online course.
