Description Organizations often struggle to successfully integrate analytics into their business. While this is always a challenging task, there are several approaches analytics teams can take to maximize their impact. This talk provides actionable recommendations to help analytics teams succeed and become essential to their company. Here a few of the specific topics covered: *How a small analytics team should prioritize projects to maximize impact. New analytics teams are often under-resourced and un-specialized. Focusing on a specific area makes it easier for the team to become experts and add value. *Strategies to engage with and become essential to business stakeholders. Too often, analytics teams and the business stakeholders they serve work in completely separate workflows. Building strong relationships with business stakeholders is critical for an analytics team's success. *Methods to increase the overall analytics literacy of your company. Evangelizing the benefits of analytics paves the way for future success. *Building a network of analytics-minded people. Outside of the official analytics team, companies often have many other employees interested in learning about and leveraging this topic. Building a network of these people can be extremely beneficial. Speaker Jai Bansal, Aetna, Senior Data Scientist
