Summary
Don't let a fear of numbers hold you back。
Today's business environment brings with it an onslaught of data， but leaving the analysis to others in your company just won't cut it。 Now more than ever， managers must know how to tease insight from data--to understand where it comes from， make sense of the numbers， and use those findings to inform their toughest decisions。 But how do you get started？
Whether you're working with data experts or running your own tests， you'll find answers in the HBR Guide to Data Analytics Basics for Managers。 This book describes a three-step process to get the information you need， study the data， and communicate your findings to others。
You'll learn how to:
Identify the metrics you need to measure Formulate hypotheses and test against them Ask the right questions of your data experts Understand statistical terms and concepts Create effective charts and visualizations Avoid common mistakesReviews

There were some great articles in this book。 I didn’t find each one relevant or helpful but enjoyed the majority。

The book contains 22 articles plus an appendix。 As a data scientist， I especially like the article Know the difference between your data and your metrics， Linear thinking in a Nonlinear world， Pitfalls of data-driven decisions， Don’t let your analytics cheat the truth， and all the articles under communicate your findings。

Great go to book for managers。 I teach financial analysis to operations managers and teach in a similar manner。 Interpretation and understanding not details of stats。 We hire people for that part。 As a managers there is some numbers they need to do themselves and others they just need to do a good job of critically evaluating and this book gives a good overview of that critical evaluation。

This is a decent introduction to the topic， which combines a series of articles by different authors into this single volume。 Good overview of foundational concepts and vocabulary。

Decent， but not as good as some of the other HBR guides。 It skims lightly over the various components of Data Analytics- too lightly， perhaps。 It's an easy read， but if you're looking for an intellectual insight into data analytics for managers， I'm sure there's better books out there。 Decent， but not as good as some of the other HBR guides。 It skims lightly over the various components of Data Analytics- too lightly， perhaps。 It's an easy read， but if you're looking for an intellectual insight into data analytics for managers， I'm sure there's better books out there。 。。。more

As a designer， I found many parts of this book useful for critically thinking about what's most important to begin proper data analytics。 Some of the essays were way out of my range， but I like that it feels like a bible I can always refer back to as I improve。 As a designer， I found many parts of this book useful for critically thinking about what's most important to begin proper data analytics。 Some of the essays were way out of my range， but I like that it feels like a bible I can always refer back to as I improve。 。。。more

This is a good quick read about the basics of data analytics in a time when analytics and insights are becoming more and more important。 Some of the articles are more relevant than others （considering it was written a few years ago）， but all are short enough that in the aggregate it's worth the time to read， especially if you are moving into more senior management in a company that is already anchored in data-driven decisions or you're looking to help your company be more data driven。 This is a good quick read about the basics of data analytics in a time when analytics and insights are becoming more and more important。 Some of the articles are more relevant than others （considering it was written a few years ago）， but all are short enough that in the aggregate it's worth the time to read， especially if you are moving into more senior management in a company that is already anchored in data-driven decisions or you're looking to help your company be more data driven。 。。。more

Interesting read on analytics and as the book calls it， "sexiest job of the 21st century" for data scientists。 Good high level reminders of preventing over-fitting， finding the right balance of business and insights， keeping skills sharp through forums and conferences as the field is new。 Interesting read on analytics and as the book calls it， "sexiest job of the 21st century" for data scientists。 Good high level reminders of preventing over-fitting， finding the right balance of business and insights， keeping skills sharp through forums and conferences as the field is new。 。。。more
