The Trust Effect: A Significant Difference for Statisticians

Free Webinar!

A bank in Germany promoted themselves with the tagline “Trust is at the start of everything!”. You might debate if this is a good marketing slogan, but it’s surely true for a statistical leader’s relationship with their team and their collaborators.  Without trust, teams – both functional and product – may struggle with consistent performance which can impact productivity, timelines, morale, and innovation.

Trust is the glue that holds teams together during challenging times.  Trust allows you to have tough conversations, develop robust solutions, and make better decisions.  These all result in a more rewarding team experience for all.

What are the keys to building or strengthening trust?  What can be done when trust is absent or damaged?  Why does an investment in trust pay dividends?

In this upcoming webinar, we will talk about the three fundamentals of trust and explore the benefits that trust affords.  We will provide practical guidance for statisticians in both supervisory and team leader roles in building trust, and share real examples & experiences that demonstrate the advantages of investing in trust.

We will provide enough time for discussions to make the webinar interactive.
