Welcome to the intersection of predictive analytics, culture and leadership, and sports and higher education. I’ve spent 25 years building analytics systems and teams across academia, corporate environments, and consulting: from enrollment prediction models at MSU to performance validation for sports organizations.
Join me for regular explorations into the evaluation and implementation of the technical and practical application of predictive analytics and leadership insights for data-driven organizations. We know the best insights are the ones that actually get implemented, but what we learn from those that don’t are the most important lessons.
That’s what this blog is about: sharing both successes and valuable failures from the field.
Whether you’re navigating sports analytics, building enrollment models for higher education, or developing high-performing analytics teams, this blog offers frameworks that work across domains.
I will draw from anonymized real-world case studies, discuss technical approaches that work, suggest novel leadership strategies, and maybe even share code and methods you can try on your data without wondering how the mpg or diamonds datasets relate to your field.
It’s a lot. But so am I. Check back in December. Or better yet, put my RSS feed in your blog reader of choice.
