Cognos Tip of the Month: Learn your AQ

What is your Analytics Quotient?  
What's your Analytics Quotient? AQ measures how ready you are to apply insight to your strategy, processes and tactics; how quickly you can re-allocate resources and re-orient your people to make better decisions; and how effectively you can act based on how well you know your past performance.

Take the free AQ quiz now to learn your score, your stage in the AQ Maturity Model and specific guidance, tools and Web resources.
