Keeping Up with the Quants: Your Guide to Understanding + Using Analytics by Thomas H. Davenport and Jinho Kim

John Pope

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2013, issue 31, 38-40

Abstract: In his review of this recent book by Davenport and Kim, Pope maintains that Òproblem solving is not the core of analytical thinking. A solution in a vacuum solves nothing. Problems must be framed correctly to reflect a relevant context, then the results need to be communicated in a manner which facilitates correct interpretation.Ó In line with this philosophy, the bookÕs authors recommend six steps of analytical thinking within three stages: framing the problem, solving it, and communicating and acting on results. These stages, and the necessary steps, are explained in the book. Copyright International Institute of Forecasters, 2013
