Secrets of Analytical Leaders

Review by David Haertzen

As an avid follower of Wayne Eckerson and his writings, I was pleased to have an opportunity to read and review his latest book. His earlier work helped me to understand dashboards and scorecards. The new work which provides insights from seven analytics leaders is a winner.

The book is divided into four parts. First the experts interviewed for the book are introduced:
* Eric Colson – Chief Analytics Officer for a start up with Yahoo and Netflix experiences
* Dan Engle – VP of Vehicle Valuation for Kelly Blue Book
* Tim Leonard – CTO of US Express
* Amy O’Connor – Senior Director Big Data for Nokia
* Ken Rudin – Head of Analytics at Facebook with Zynga experience
* Darren Taylor – President and COO for Cobalt Talon, a company of BlueKC
* Kurt Thearling – Director of IT and Applied Analytics for Alex Partners, LLP.
