Ep.76 Wendy Lynch - The value of Analytics Translators

This week, Karen is joined by Wendy Lynch, founder of Analytic-Translator.com. Passionate about analytics and communication, Wendy made a career of mixing the two together, helping data analytics and business teams understand each other. It took her 20 years to realise that her role was that of a translator and in this episode, she shares her best tips to bridge the gap between data and business. She starts by talking about the strain caused by poor communication in our field, then moves on to provide a clear definition of the role of an analytics translator and how they help solve the problem. In this conversation, Wendy also highlights the crucial skills required to be a good translator and through an exercise, demonstrates how we can find answers by simply finding the time to think about the question.     Enjoy!    **************************   Show notes:   **************************   Wendy’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendylynchphd/   Wendy’s online course: www.analytic-translator.com    Get 30% off Wendy's courses until 15th March 2023 with the code WOMEN30 Wendy’s books:   Become an Analytics Translator: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Become-Analytic-Translator-Business-Analysts/dp/0578316803/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HI5W9CSYQ4XE&keywords=become+an+analytics+translator&qid=1664381036&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjg5IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=become+an+analytics+translator%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-1   Get to What Matters: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Get-What-Matters-Transform-Conversations/dp/0692934359/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1664381097&refinements=p_27%3AWendy+D.+Lynch+PhD&s=books&sr=1-3&text=Wendy+D.+Lynch+PhD
