Now it’s time to move up to an executive role, but what skills do you need to make that transition? Oftentimes it is the softer skills that make a great leader. How do you find time to hone those skills while you’re managing your day-to-day work? And how do you deal with having less time for actual analysis? Amy will share her journey and some of the lessons she’s learned along the way. Speaker: Amy Sample, DAA Past President, Vice President, Business Intelligence, PBS |
