We’re intrigued how the connection between academics, analytics and the data worker of the future can impact the academic journey, classroom curriculum and the enterprise.
On October 15th, Alteryx for Good hosted our second Education panel highlighting “Academics, Analytics and the data worker of the future”, with a leader in higher education, Kai Larsen- University of Colorado, Boulder, two university students, Anna Bergstrom- University of Colorado, Boulder and Daniel Nystrom, University of California, Irvine and Jason Philips, VP of Analytics and Reporting at J.P. Morgan Chase. Facilitated by Alteryx founder and Chief Customer Officer, Libby Duane Adams
AFG Spotlight Education Recorded Session
Our panelists plan to discuss how students, educators and companies are preparing for the data worker of the future. How leaning on data science and analytics is the new workforce development across the enterprise.
By providing students across subject areas with a solid foundation of core concepts and competencies in data science and analytics, academic institutions can help pave the way for a more diverse workforce and ensure that learners are ready to help solve some of the industry’s biggest data challenges.
Whether it’s customer analytics, finance, operations, sales, marketing, higher education and government agencies, or understanding people data in HR, the breadth of knowledge needed across an organization cannot be handled by trained data scientists alone.
Jump in and let’s continue the discussion… What's your perspective?

Thanks @ToriA.. I had fun. Always great to discuss self-service analytics. Looking forward to continuing the conversation.
Thanks to everyone who attended the event! It was such a pleasure getting to share insights into the ever-growing field of analytics. With such a fast-growing field, sometimes it can feel overwhelming getting started. But, as many of the panelists said so well, taking advantage of the data community and bountiful (free!) resources out there is very helpful. What was your key take away?
