Nicole Schmidt (BBA06) had a vision of her dream job. It was buried at the end of a classic book on baseball statistics, Diamond Dollars, by Vince Gennaro, who argued that analytics could revolutionize the business of sports just as sabermetrics could revolutionize how managers build baseball teams. She's now the vice president of brand, strategy, and analytics for the Cleveland baseball team, and a key conversation with Gennaro himself played a role in her career trajectory. (And what her Cub-fan dad wore to the game three of the 2016 World Series when his ticket was a gift from Cleveland.)

Managing change. Engaging remote employees. Reducing excessive turnover. We asked our faculty experts your most pressing questions as we reimagine the post-pandemic workplace.
