Agility and survival are a function of innovation, culture, and the ability to predict the future. To that end, data analytics offers a lifeline, a means of survival that will drive productivity and continue to disrupt and redefine business.

Join Alex Jones, a predictive analytics architect in the oil and gas industry with a passion for distilling complexity into insights, January 15 at noon ET/17:00 UTC for the free webinar “Data Analytics Explained for Business Leaders.”

Alex, whose work has been featured on KDnuggets and who was recognized by DataScienceCentral as a top 180 blogger in 2014, notes that the resources available to today's business leaders sit on two vastly different ends of the spectrum: On the one hand are highly technical, academic resources; on the other, are largely fluffy overviews of value propositions and potentials.

This webcast aims to bridge that gap between the technical data scientists and business leaders, helping connect the strategic goals of business leaders with the capabilities of technical advisers, focus investments and initiatives within analytics and technology, distill immensely complex subject matter into comprehensible examples, and accelerate the path to value and increase the ROI of analytics initiatives. Register for the webcast today.

<![CDATA[Recap: PASS Analytics Event in London]]>http://passbaconference.com/2015/ConferenceNews/BAInsights/TabId/15250/ArtMID/23734/ArticleID/9/Recap-PASS-Analytics-Event-in-London.aspxLast week, volunteers and speakers from PASS hosted a Business Analytics event in London to help business and data analytics professionals Connect, Share and Learn. The event kicked off with a keynote presentation covering the full business data spectrum – from BI & Analytics to Big Data and Data Science. The technical sessions throughout the day covered a range of topics including the day-to-day problem of how to turn data into information to learning more about how predictive analytics can change the way businesses operate.

The event took its direction from the revitalized educational approach for the annual PASS Business Analytics Conference.

With this approach, PASS is helping those who work with data along the ‘analyst's journey’ - from finding and integrating data to analyzing and visualizing the data to communicating insights throughout the organization. Or, simply put, from Data to Insights to Action.

If you missed the London BA Event, don't worry. You can still access free training from the 2014 conference and register for the 2015 conference today.
