"A judicious man... looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him."
-Thomas Carlyle |

| Message | |
Many businesses today have enormous amounts of data but very little actionable information. The business world is increasingly complex and competitive. "Statistics" is no longer a class filled with methods that students might never apply but rather a way to teach a decision process that is integral to success in today’s information driven world. |
