Randy Bartlett commented on Vincent Granville's blog post Debunking lack of analytic talent
"First, I take exception with the ubiquitous and unfounded idea that expensive college degrees are somehow worth more--the tuition bubble. In the case of statistical training, I am observing the opposite. I think other factors, which…"

""Have a loose, informal organization of all the analytics folks that are sprinkled througout the business lines."
Anthony, I'd have to disagree with this statement, unless I didn't understand correctly what you're saying.…"
Anthony Arrott commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"The discussion here makes it seem like locating the analytics function in the organization is a choice between the lesser of two evils.
1. Report to the line-of-business that uses the statistics/analysis.
2. Report to a central analytics…"
Abd Errahmane Mouhab commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"There is a erroneous belief in business that analytics/Statistics is context related (just look jobs advertisements for analytics), yes a context experienced analyst will take less time in doing his analysis, while a non context experienced analyst…"

"@ Paul Wilson
I read the paper and found it to be interesting. I especially liked the Analytical Decision Process Spider Diagram. I will look for the book.
The paper claims that the best analytics companies have a centralized group. We agree. As…"

"@Abd Errahmane Mouha
I think this is a great structure. It is flexible enough for most businesses. The resources of the central group can be stronger technically and the line-of-business groups can focus on the local issues.
Yet, few corporations…"

"Randy,
Here are my opinions in regards to your questions:
"Here are two interesting questions: 1. Do businesses benefit from an ‘enterprise wide’ analytics group?"
Yes, they do. I'm a part of such a centralized…"
Abd Errahmane Mouhab commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"Statisticians/Analysts should be at a corporate level that is part of "Decision making and business support" that takes care of strategic decisions and management changes, however business lines need staff to be trained in using statistics…"
Randy Bartlett commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"I agree with both of you. If statistics is placed in a particular line of business, then it is not very ‘enterprise wide’ (shared, centralized group). Also, there are many benefits to be derived from a more independent analytics…"
Tejamoy Ghosh commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"I agree with Paul.
Analytics can be a powerful device for the high-level decision makers when used optimally incoprorating all aspects of a business. For instance, if marketing wants to show good numbers by acquiring any customer it can without any…"
Paul Wilson commented on Randy Bartlett's blog post Where Should We Place Statistics Within The Corporation?
"Depends on may factors, but if analytics is to be a shared, centralized group (i.e. not report to silos/individual line of business like, say CRM), there should be a separate stream with a VP, Analytics type of position available for optimum…"

Randy Bartlett commented on Amy's blog post Can we do without analytics?
"Of course, analytics provides a lift and most companies under utilize analytics. They are leaving money on the table because they have not adapted to the Information Age. Any business in an industry with good data will eventually require analytics…"
Randy Bartlett replied to Amy's discussion Interviewing for a job, but for other reasons than being hired?
"Sun,
I have had similar unpleasant interviewing experiences. As far as I know, in each case I was being considered for the job. However, I would handle both situations in the same manner.
I just had this happen three months ago. I was asked how to…"
