About this title

Review:

Wayne Eckerson has created a unique—and uniquely valuable—book in “The Secrets of Analytical Leaders.” He's pulled together the insights of seven leading analytics practitioners, and combined them with his own considerable experience. The result is an interesting dialogue among some really smart and distinguished people. I'm not sure which is more interesting—the format or the content!

Professors are hard at work molding the world's future analytical leaders—but the chasm between theoretical textbook learning and the real world is considerable. Wayne, with his customary clarity and insight, helps professors cross the chasm by delivering frameworks, commentary, and scenarios that are real, interesting, and important.
