About this webinar

Great decisions don’t happen by chance — they’re driven by data and structured problem solving. The leaders who consistently make good calls aren’t guessing or trusting their gut more than the rest of us — they’ve learned a repeatable process for translating messy real-world problems into clear questions, focused analysis, and evidence-based recommendations that move stakeholders to act.

In this one-hour session, Kathleen Bader walks through a practical 8-step framework for tackling complex business challenges using data analytics. You’ll explore how to define problems clearly, identify root causes, and transform insights into confident, evidence-based decisions that influence outcomes. Whether you lead a team or analyze data, this session will help you think more strategically and act more decisively.

What you’ll learn

The 8-step framework for data-driven problem solving — a repeatable approach for tackling complex business challenges, from defining the problem clearly to communicating the recommendation.

Translating data into insights — how to move beyond charts and dashboards to the conclusions that actually inform better decisions.

Creating a compelling narrative — the difference between presenting analytical findings and telling a story that moves stakeholders to act.

Defining the problem clearly — the upstream work that determines whether the rest of your analysis is solving the right question.

Identifying root causes — methods for distinguishing symptoms from underlying drivers, so the recommendation actually addresses the problem.

From insight to action — the moves that turn an analytical finding into an evidence-based decision your stakeholders are willing to make.
