ABOUT
BRIDGING GAPS IN THE SCIENCE OF DATA
Founded in Helsinki, Finland in 2015 by Dr. Ana Kolar, a PhD statistician passionate about the magic of statistics and the art of statistical thinking.
STATISTICS FOR UNDERSTANDING
Statistics is the grammar of science and a foundation of advanced AI systems.
It turns data into information and elevates understandings.
ENHANCE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED AI SYSTEMS
Explore our science-based Thinking Strategies and Data Analytics for Industry 4.0 services.
Curious about the most important paths in the universe of statistics and what it takes to get to objective scientific outcomes?
Ready to develop higher-order-thinking? After all, AI is advanced statistics that wants to learn how to think and it needs humans to get there.
Want to learn with expert guidance? Save years of trial and error that comes with traditional statistical curricula or while learning on your own.
Interested in learning how to analyse cause-and-effect relationships, and what it takes to analyse data in a scientifically objective way?
Expand your knowledge with our online courses.
ENHANCE HUMAN THINKING
The human thinking needs an upgrade as data and AI systems are transforming the world. Stay ahead with our science-based learning opportunities.
Learn how your organisation can upgrade to higher-order-thinking human minds with Decision making 7.0 and Decision making 8.0.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Dr. Ana Kolar holds a PhD in Statistics, BSc in Economics and a postgraduate qualification in tertiary teaching and learning. Her PhD advisor and statistical guru is one of the greatest statisticians of today – Dr. Donald B. Rubin, Emeritus Professor of Statistics from Harvard University
Ana has over 20 years of international professional experience in the fields of academia, applied statistics and research. As an economist, she has worked in different industries and sectors – from oil and gas, management consulting to IT solutions. Throughout this time, she has kept in touch with academia, teaching macroeconomics and business communication courses.
In her later career, she spent some time as a statistician in the investment banking sector before entering full-time academia as a business statistics lecturer.
Her passion for helping people and the environment, brought her to the office of the United Nations, where she provided research and statistical assistance in the field of population and development.
Ana’s professional experience includes a variety of projects, from business evaluations to business developments, from human resources and cultural capital evaluations to macroeconomics and financial statistical modelling, from database building to statistical analyses for evidence-based policies.
In 2015, her passion for statistics, learning and sharing led her to develop new learning approaches for developing modern statistical thinking – the essential skills for an AI-driven world.
Ana’s forward-thinking and mastery-oriented curriculum takes a holistic approach to the first principles of statistical-methodological concepts. Her courses enable learners to master key statistical-methodological knowledge in a fraction of the time of conventional statistics curricula.
Ana says that as impressive the AI is, it still cannot think. Modern statistical thinking – the approach that deepens our understanding of what it takes to derive objective insights from data – is key to maximizing benefits in the AI era.
The key concepts of modern statistical thinking are needed for both: the development of advanced AI and the development of humans with higher-order-thinking skills.
Ana is a Professor of Practice at the School of Technology and Innovation, with scholarly interests in causal inference, quantum statistics, the science behind consciousness and the development of modern statistical thinking.
