It is all about Data Analytics and Data Science

“Everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it.”  This concept applies to a great deal of data terminology. While many people toss around terms like “data science,” “data analysis,” “big data,” and “data mining,” even the experts have trouble defining them. Here, we focus on one of the more important distinctions as it relates to your career: the often-muddled differences between data analytics and data science.  Data Analytics vs. Data Science  While data analysts and data scientists both work with data, the main difference lies in what they do with it.

Companies are starting to move away from their Learning Management Systems (LMS), buy all sorts of new tools for digital learning, and rebuild a whole new infrastructure to help employees learn. And the impact of GSuite,  Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Workplace by Facebook could be enormous. Consider the following: in Deloitte's most recent research among 700-plus business and HR professionals, corporate L&D received a net-promoter score of -8. This is about as low as it can go.
