Introducing the Modern Analytics Academy

With data being such an important piece of organisational strategy, the data team is a key stakeholder at the decision-making table. But satisfying the entire organization’s demand for data-driven strategy and decision making, alongside the increasing scale and complexity of data collected and available for analysis, puts data teams in a difficult position.

The situation data teams find themselves in calls for a new way of working: we call this Modern Analytics.

Modern Analytics uses the technologies and workflows of software engineering to deliver the analytical outcomes demanded by the modern organisation. Modern analytics is:

• Scaleable
• Agile
• Collaborative

Over the last two years we’ve learnt a lot from working so closely with the Dataform community. There are some clear patterns to how the most effective data teams work, and we wanted to share what we’ve learnt with a wider audience. We’ve worked with some of the pioneers of Modern Analytics to create the Modern Analytics Academy.

Our aim is to help you get started with Modern Analytics principles as quickly and smoothly as possible, so that you can ensure you’re delivering maximum value to your organisation.

We’ve started with some of the fundamentals, and plan over the next few weeks and months to cover more advanced topics. We’re also running a series of webinars alongside the academy to dig a bit deeper into some of the topics. We hope you find it useful!
