There is something magical about a book cover 📗, isn't there? This week, as the cover of my next book is finally ready, I feel elated that it's really happening. The new book, "Foundations of Business Analytics", will be published as a textbook, complete with teaching materials and a test bank. This is a culmination of something new I jumped into five years ago - developing a college-level course and then teaching it at Humber College, receiving amazing support from my two program coordinators Nataliya Korchagina and Omar Wahdan, Ph.D. I struggled to find a suitable textbook for my course Introduction to Analytics - not too technical for an introductory course, but not too simplistic that it glossed over the many hurdles and challenges of creating useful analytical insights. While I used many sources for teaching the course (yes, even the Government of Canada website 🇨🇦), I wanted to create a resource that covers broadly: ✅ What is data/data types ✅ Data management in an enterprise ✅ Analytics use cases in the business context ✅ Types of analytics ✅ Business analytics life cycle ✅ Analytics architecture ✅ Types and styles of analytics solutions ✅ The basics of analytics project management ✅ Legal and ethical implications of using analytics and AI ✅ Analytics careers The target audience for this book is both: 🎯 students of business and data analytics just starting on their journey 🎯 businesspeople and leaders who want their organization to get better at using their data for informed decision-making The publication date is May 2025. If you are looking for a new textbook for next year, you can request a preview copy from the link shared in the first comment. #newbook #book #analytics #businessanalytics #dataanalytics #data #ai #businessintelligence #decisionmaking #datainsights
