Business intelligence leverages software and services to collate, curate, and interrogate data at scale, so that actionable insights may be drawn from the information created through these processes. It is also used to create a range of reports, both formal and adhoc. However all of this data is useless unless it is effectively and clearly communicated to those who need it.
Our guest for this discussion is Clare Thorpe, the Acting Director of Library Services at the University of Southern Queensland.

This episode is focussed on the concept of working collaboratively because data analysis, like so many responsibilities of business leaders, is highly collaborative. We look at the concept of a collaborative leader, what collaboration is and what it isn’t, and the way organisations can build a collaborative culture while recognising the individual need for independent, focused work.
