Realizing these benefits, however, requires a well functioning data stack and employees with the requisite skills to move, manipulate, and analyze data toward specific business impact. In this presentation, we discuss the two major components to building successful data and analytics teams in ABA organizations. First, we review the primary foundation layers of the modern data stack and the tools available in the market. Second, we review the skills employees need to effectively conduct and support analytics in ABA organizations. Throughout, the focus will be on practical, scalable solutions that align with the unique needs of ABA businesses. Attendees will leave with an understanding of what analytics teams do to so they can more efficiently lead them to improve service delivery, business management, and innovation.
