OVERVIEWIf anything is growing faster than the availability of digital data, it is industry’s desire to put that data to work. This in turn is driving high demand for business analytics talent. According to projections by the McKinsey Global Institute, by 2018 there could be 1.5 million vacancies in the U.S. alone for managers and analysts with the ability to make effective data-driven decisions.
