About the Webinar

Anyone who works in data-oriented professions knows that there are frequent misunderstandings between data and business professionals. In some cases, teams even develop a level of discord or animosity.

The tension is almost predictable. Business professionals and data professionals don’t just use different terminology. They are trained differently, think differently, see things differently, and value different outcomes. Without understanding both perspectives, literacy can get us only so far.

In this session we will explore how differences between these two types of professionals can be leveraged to move literacy efforts forward.

About the Speaker

Wendy D. Lynch, PhD

Founder, Analytic-translator.com

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.
