Analytics Power Hour

Do we have enough data collected now that the right generative AI platform, brilliantly prompted, can tell us what the dominant themes of 2025 will be? Er. No. Check back next year. For now, the prudent move was to sit down with Barr Moses from Monte Carlo and see where the conversation took us! https://lnkd.in/ggN6BjV9 #analytics #podcast #predictions

The closing days of any year are an opportunity for reflection, and that's what we've done on the latest episode of the show—reflected on some of the industry highs that we've each experienced in 2024. As it happens, this episode also marks the completion of 10 years that we've been producing this show. Thanks for coming along for the ride, whenever you found us! https://lnkd.in/gVksfS6N #analytics #podcast #yearinreview #tenyears

"It was the best of insights, it was the worst of insights, it was the age of AI, it was the age of human hypotheses, it was the epoch of hard numbers, it was the epoch of confidence intervals, it was the season of concise dataviz, it was the season of text-heavy slides..." Dickens, clearly, is not the best inspiration for data storytelling, but our latest episode, with Duncan Clark, very well may be! https://lnkd.in/gNxUbYi5 #analytics #datastorytelling #podcast #charlesdickens #taleoftwocities

We had a question: "What can we learn from the misuse of statistics in media headlines?" The good news: this experiment turned out to be tougher than we thought it would be. The better news: it wasn't impossible, and it brought some hilarity. https://lnkd.in/gMCNHCyu #analytics #misleadingheadlines #podcast

KPIs may not be sexy, but they can be an incredibly powerful—just the process of identifying them and setting targets for them. That's the subject of the latest episode of the Analytics Power Hour, which included a guest who is so special that we're not even going to tag him in this post about the show! https://lnkd.in/gPUFK2Pf #analytics #podcast #kpis #targets #goalsetting

Generative AI has countless use cases. But every use case isn't necessarily a candidate for generative AI. On the latest episode of the show, we had a discussion with Martin Broadhurst FRSA about how and where analysts can and should (and should not!) be adding the technology to their toolset. https://lnkd.in/gpARaP7W #analytics #generativeai #ai #podcast

We could barely hold in our excitement when the MeasureCamp Chicago planning committee called and asked us to come and do our thing at their inaugural event! We had so much fun chatting with attendees on the mic to create this episode. Listen in for some great tips and tricks as well as some #hottakes to get you thinking. https://lnkd.in/g8DFY24Y #podcast #MeasureCamp #deepdish

We had so much fun on our last Dear APH-y episode that we thought we would do it again! But it's not all about us. We got some great listener questions about career development, and, as a group with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, we thought it would be good to get us all on the mic to take some swings at answering them. Plus McKinsey Titles FTW! https://lnkd.in/gzFjDmDu #podcast #analytics #careerdevelopment #advice #careers #mckinseytitles

Benchmarks are commonly leveraged, but rarely questioned. No worries, Eric Sandosham, Ph.D. and the Analytics Power Hour Crew took a crack at them in this most recent episode! They dive into the fundamental problems with benchmarks and why they can be dangerous for your business. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/g8Y9pTQK #podcast #analytics #benchmarks

Finding the right candidate for a role is big job and requires practice. So we want to hear your favorite question to ask analytics candidates you interview! Hop on the mic with Michael Helbling and Valerie Kroll to dive into it!
