The University of Illinois – Deloitte Foundation Center for Business Analytics

The Business Analytics Center (BAC) is a collaboration platform that brings together industry executives, Georgia Tech's world-class multidisciplinary academics, and top business analytics students to help them build better analytics teams. We work together as a catalyst, leveraging thought leadership, research, and industry collaborations to prepare and inspire the next generation of business analytics professionals.

The Trinity Centre for Digital Business and Analytics (CDBA) is a leader in the creation and dissemination of knowledge around digital business and business analytics. It has developed a multidisciplinary research team in all areas of business revolutionised by digital technologies and data.

The mission of the Center for the Advancement of Business Analytics (CABA) is to be New England’s leading resource for business analytics and data science, helping partner organizations develop and enhance their analytics capabilities. Our goals include becoming: an outlet for faculty engagement through research projects, business interactions/projects; a channel for knowledge dissemination by offering workshops, conferences, certifications, short courses; a focal point for community services by providing a repository of data, thought leadership, newsletters; a conduit for student engagement promoting projects, experiential learning, capstone, internships.

The Deloitte Institute for Research & Practice in Analytics (DIRPA) is an initiative funded by Deloitte and designed to bring together students and faculty from the University of Miami in a cross-disciplinary effort to better understand the business and analytic needs, challenges, and opportunities of industry and community organizations across the globe.

Business professionals with a proficiency in business analytics are in short supply. According to a widely cited report by McKinsey and Co., by 2018 the United States could “face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills, as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.” The Center for Applied Business Analytics (CABA) was established in June of 2015 to build capacity in the field of business analytics across the Moore School and the University of South Carolina.

Businesses have a powerful tool for thriving in a rapidly changing, increasingly complex environment: analytics. Analytics enables organizations to detect trends, predict the most likely scenarios, and make optimal decisions about everything from daily operations to high-level strategies.
