About this listen

Welcome to the age of data. No matter your interests (sports, movies, politics), your industry (finance, marketing, technology, manufacturing), or the type of organization you work for (big company, nonprofit, small start-up) - your world is awash with data.

As a successful manager today, you must be able to make sense of all this information. You need to be conversant with analytical terminology and methods and able to work with quantitative information. This audiobook promises to become your "quantitative literacy" guide - helping you develop the analytical skills you need right now in order to summarize data, find the meaning in it, and extract its value.

Highly relatable for the workplace

Essential reading for small business or startups mainly working from the ground up. I found this audiobook very informative and entertaining. There was a lot of 'food for thought' here and I will be using the knowledge gained in the real world. Highly recommend!

Good introduction for this subject

Really is for the business manager and not the analyst. It doesn't use techy terminology but it does explain it. Loads of interesting examples and advice

Extremely Dry and Difficult to Finish.

I'm sorry but I didn't learn anything from this book. The subject matter is extremely dry and is probably targeted at academic audiences. Unfortunately, I just could not engage with the subject matter and I think the authors have to take at least part of the blame for this.
