Tom Davenport’s 2007 book “Competing on Analytics” is considered to be a key catalyst in the widespread use of analytics throughout virtually every industry, including retail, sports, medicine and politics. Since then, the use of analytics has grown from a “nice to have” to a “must have” for many firms.
The webcast will discuss two key underpinnings for the successful use of analytics – data and data mining. Without reliable internally generated data and the ability to access and utilize relevant third part data, analytics efforts are doomed to fail.
