In a 2018 publication in Harvard Business Review, McKinsey referred to the role of Analytics Translator as “the new must-have role” for organization. Do you want to develop analytics translators in your organizations? Are you looking for a development program that immediately impacts the business and provides value to employees or customers? In the Analytics Translator program, participants are trained in their role of analytics translator while developing a use-case from scratch on. This use-case should contribute to the organization’s strategic objectives and comprises a business case and implementation plan. Also, storytelling competencies are developed throughout the program, culminating in a presentation to the leadership. Since 2020 over 500 professionals in more than 20 countries across the globe have successfully participated in the program. Dozens of use-cases with immediate business impact have been developed. Are you ready to be next?

For whom?

• Professionals from any business discipline who have the potential to bridge the gap between data experts and business professionals.
• Ideally multidisciplinary subgroups of professionals participate to work jointly on a same use-case. The various subgroups (from 1 or more organization) share experiences, ideas, progress in their use-case development, and therefore contribute to an inspiring learning context

• Video teaser for management and colleagues to attend the final presentation of the use-case
• Large infographic visualizing the essence of the using and comprising a call to action for the target audience
• Presentation to executives with a specific call to action aimed at guiding the use-case towards deployment.
