Women of Analytics is an initiative that began in March 2016 as part of the celebrations for International Women’s Month. What started as a series of events turned into a group, platform and forum in which women who work in analytics can connect and share their experiences.
Alteryx chief customer officer Olivia Duane Adams said back in 2016 she realised there were so many amazing women across the global analytics community and something had to be done to highlight their amazing work. In her words, Women of Analytics is a platform for women to talk about and share more about themselves, their careers, their journey within the analytics environment.
As a result of this initiative, Duane Adams has seen partner companies of Alteryx include the voices of women when they are creating the agendas for their internal conferences. “We are seeing companies build that diversity culture within their organisations which is very rewarding to see,” she said.
Duane Adams is keen to stress the inclusion of male allies in the Women of Analytics initiative. She said: “It’s become more of a "we" culture because it is not just women talking about what they’re doing in the workplace. It’s about men and women coming together to talk about the importance of diversity and the contribution that everyone is making to help elevate that voice of women leading analytics initiatives within a company.”
