1. Personal Skills
Resilience
Resilience is a foundational quality for analytics translators. As companies undergo increasingly rapid changes, resilience will become essential as they interact with their leaders inside organizations. In many cases, we ask translators to acquire new skills, assume extra responsibilities, and accomplish more with limited resources.
Some may not cope well with the additional stress associated with new expectations, while others appear to not only adapt but thrive in these conditions. Being able to respond positively to constantly evolving challenges will help translators succeed in their workplace environment.
We prepare analytics translators to be effective team members. As such, our research is focused around three key areas.
Our goal is simple.
“Change won’t wait for us: business leaders, educators and governments all need to be proactive in up-skilling and retraining people so everyone can benefit from the Fourth Industrial Revolution”

2. Effective team player
Adaptive thinking
In a world of increasing global connectivity, market competition, and automation, a premium will exist for skills that facilitate quick and adaptive responses to unfamiliar circumstances. As everyone and everything becomes more connected, the result is not just that we can do things faster, cheaper, or better. Rather, it is that the whole system becomes highly unpredictable—a change in one node will resonate throughout the whole. This not only relates to analytics translators but the business teams that they are part. As data fuels this adaptability, analytics translators needs to be able to be effective here and share new thinking when and where it is most needed.
Virtual collaboration
Distance work will grow in prominence in the next decade due to technologies that make it easier to share analytics content and insights from any location, and the growing awareness that traditional office environments do not usually offer the extended blocks of uninterrupted time necessary to complete knowledge-based tasks. Of even greater importance is that the very nature of work is changing. Work is being divided into micro-tasks that call for specialists, who can be based anywhere. The business world is capitalizing on this trend by eliminating some or all types of traditional office space—a trend that is increasingly common in Fortune 500
companies. As a key team member, analytics translators need to consider what this environment means for them. How easy will it be for them to influence data-driven decision making?
3. Analytics community member
Transdisciplinary mindset
Over the next decade, technology and computational methods will become more prominent in all aspects of work, and professional fields will overlap more than ever. Analytics translators need to operate at the intersection across lines of analytics expertise ranging from operational reporting to data science and artificial intelligence. Their mission will be to disrupt narrow groups and specialists unable (or unwilling) to understand one another’s terminology or to integrate data and concepts across disciplines create much of the gridlock in addressing key business issues. Analytics teams who master this transdisciplinary approach will take center stage!
We have found a number of organizations are beginning to talk about this skill in terms of a “T-shaped” quality. T-shaped translators have both depth and breadth in their skill set. The vertical bar of the “T” represents depth in one field—analytics. The horizontal bar represents the ability to collaborate across other domain disciplines and to apply knowledge in areas of expertise other than one’s own. This is the secret sauce to translator success!
