Motio presents – Building A Better Future: Distinguished Women of BI
Females make up 49.5% of the population worldwide with the US population holding steady at 51.1%. However, only 30% of women are actively working in Data Science and other data-oriented jobs. In addition, around 10% of data teams do not have any female members in them. (source: AnalyticInsights.net)
To help inspire those searching for a career in the BI industry and for those already within the BI workforce, Motio is hosting a roundtable discussion with highly successful female leaders in the industry. These women will share their stories on how they entered the BI field, their career path and how they succeeded within a male-dominated field.
Join us on June 1, 2022, @ 10 a.m. CDT for a power hour discussion and Q&A session.

About Lodestar Solutions
Lodestar Solutions takes a different approach to business analytics implementations, instead of providing consulting services we provide coaching services. The difference is we teach, mentor and guide clients’ internal resources to be self-sufficient. The needs of your business will change and your team members need to be able to adjust their models and dashboards to meet the transitional needs of your organization. Lodestar Solutions offers the executive coaching on business analytics, customizable IBM Cognos Training, technical and application consulting.
We are also a reseller of IBM Business Analytic solutions selling licenses and support renewals. Our expert team will make sure you have the correct license mix and understand all the functionality of the licenses you own. Our support renewal team is trained to identify savings opportunities and potential issues in your licensing to ensure you are compliant while giving you the best price possible.
What Clients are saying:
“Your discussion about how to engage your business users greatly improved the analytics at our organization. It changed our discussions with end users away from design and towards analytical needs. It took the development process back to IT, and let the end user focus on the key measures needed to improve their business needs. A simple thought process that we couldn’t do on our own, your steps were incredibly helpful.”
– Cesare Lasorella, Manager of Business Intelligence, KeHE Distributors
“Lodestar provided training tailored specifically to the needs of our company. They assisted us in making problematic processes work efficiently and gave us the knowledge to apply those techniques to future situations. They guided us in selecting the best methodology for data transformations and trained us in the use of those tools. We accomplished a lot in a very short time. Lodestar’s training resulted in significant advances in user knowledge and improved functionality of our applications.”
– Sharon Grubenhoff, Senior Vice President FP&A, Primerica, Inc.
