The reader of this book need not be a mathematician. This book is intended for the business-minded individual interested in learning about the strategic advantages which can be obtained from business analytics. Small Business Trends magazine reported that, "you don't need to be a Fortune 500 company with revenue in the stratosphere to benefit from the application of business intelligence. A simple analysis of data your business may already be collecting could hold the answer." Perhaps you would like to reduce your inventory, determine product and customer profitability, gain insight into customer ordering behaviour. Perhaps you would like to know where you are spending your business dollars or how to determine if your cash flow is getting better or worse. Is your business becoming more or less efficient as it grows? Perhaps you would like to predict upcoming retirements to determine the impact of the baby boomer generation on your organization. This book will present some of the simpler approaches to data analysis and will show the value of these analyses to business. The intent is to show the reader what is possible rather than teaching the mathematical techniques. From simple to the more advanced, this book will deliver a series of analytics suitable for anyone wishing to take their business to the next level. I will present a series of real-world case studies from various functional areas, the majority of which will be conducted with every day software that most businesses already possess. The book will go on to examine the advantages and disadvantages of trying to build these capabilities in-house and will provide a realistic view of the challenges associated with analytics in the business world. Finally, I will provide some advice on data analysis and visualization tools. Specifically, I will focus on the tools that are available to the reader for prices that are in line with typical office software.

Imagine a school with a culture so positive that everyone thrives: students and educators alike. Classrooms are lively, students feel they're part of a community that cares about them, and teachers are happy and productive. Too good to be true? Not in a ridiculously amazing school. There are many of them all across the country. What are their secrets to success?In this book, principal Tracey Smith and Jeff Waller, co-author of The 7 Mindsets to Live Your Ultimate Life, show how taking care of educators first--and cultivating supportive relationships--results in profound and positive changes. Smith and Waller explore the five key elements of what they call courageous schools: schools that understand it takes a "whole" teacher to teach the "whole" child. They reveal the one variable that stands out as a predictor of sustained excellence...and it isn't about leadership style, teaching practices, or demographics.There's no question that teaching is hard work with little instant gratification, and too many educators go to work each day feeling unappreciated and overburdened. But it shouldn't--and doesn't--have to be that way. Smith and Waller offer practical solutions and a road map to drive real and meaningful change within the school and classroom. It's possible to create a nurturing climate where teachers are respected and have the power to transform lives...not just their students' lives, but their own.
