Moving the Needle Toward Organizational Success (0:00 - 29:35)
What You’ll Learn:
Data analysis can and should influence decisions on the field, court, ice or pitch in the same way it impacts decisions in the boardroom. While the physical landscapes may vary, the objective to maximize the likelihood of successful organizational outcomes does not. Practical applications of data-driven, decision-making processes will serve as the framework for introducing attendees to the field of sports analytics.
