you will submit a presentation based on work done in a group. Your groups will be assigned by the end of this week. You can access them from the Groups tab on the Global Navigation or through the People tab in the Course Navigation. You will have your initial group meeting this week to set up your group meeting schedule.

The stakeholder presentation serves as the bridge between analytics and business decision making. The presentation provides you with the framework to integrate the course content through a reality-based example.

Imagine for a moment that your team has been recently hired as analytic consultants for a healthcare facility. The organization has requested your teams help in understanding their personnel data in preparation for a JCAHO audit. You have begun your analysis with a review of their data and have found some inaccuracies and areas of concern.

For this presentation, be creative. You may create and use any hypothetical data you deem necessary to formulate or support your recommendations, including the hospital data you've been using in the weekly assignments. If you use the hospital data, your analysis should go beyond what is already required in the weekly assignments. Just remember, the data should be as realistic as possible and free of bias.
