SUMMARY: Surgent's Data Analytics Toolkit - Tools and Applications
DESCRIPTION: There is no shortage of data\, but relatively few organizations have an environment and process to isolate\, capture\, analyze\, and convert data into actionable information. Too often\, we collect as much data as possible\, continue to use historic measurements\, and communicate data using traditional vehicles. Good decisions are not the result of the amount of data gathered\, but of the quality and understanding of the information. The goal of this program is to explore a number of analytical tools and techniques and identify applications for them within an organization. Analytical techniques will be introduced throughout the discussion\, and a significant amount of time will be spent addressing the steps needed to establish a data-driven environment and identifying and discussing potential/specific applications. In this way\, participants get experience they can begin to use in their organizations. 

An expanded list of reference books and next level software is also provided.
