More about Thomas Davenport's keynote presentation
In an age in which many decisions have been suboptimal, the next frontier is to use analytics and other tools to make better decisions, both strategic and operational. In this discussion, analytics thought leader Tom Davenport expands on the ground–breaking research in his best-selling book Competing on Analytics with insights from his upcoming book, Being Analytical: How Organizations Make Fact-Based Decisions, revealing how individuals and companies can transform their approaches to decisions. Specifically, Tom addresses:
- How thriving organizations develop their analytical capabilities.
- The benefits gained by closely linking information, analytics and decision making.
- Competitive decision making: a look at the companies that do it best.
- How your organization can begin to assess and improve decision making today.
"Some companies have built their very businesses on their ability to collect, analyze and act on data. Every company can learn from what these firms do."
Thomas H. Davenport
