I'm trying to start simple on my journey towards thinking more like a statistician and have long suspected this would be the case at many companies. Besides Bayesian models, do any other common methods seem to be ignored as often? Any suggestions resources that a newbie on the scene might use to educate themselves?

One simple method that is often good enough is k-nearest neighbors. Basically computing the k most similar training values to a test value and then averaging their outputs to get a prediction.
