Panel Discussion
Featuring thought leaders who have helped major companies build cultures of analytic excellence
For an organization to develop a culture of analytics, it needs a shared vision, constancy of purpose and continual reinforcement. It needs software tools that can facilitate, even encourage, the use of analytics and to train people in their effective use. This fosters adoption and engagement, makes decision making more objective and transparent, and promotes data-driven collaboration within and between teams and stakeholders.
This panel discussion emphasizes how to make a compelling business case for analytics projects, put together multidisciplinary teams, choose a proof of concept, and gather the right tools and competencies for success.
