Hosted by Harvard Business Review in collaboration with SAS, Teradata and Intel, this executive dinner event will demonstrate how to strengthen your organization to prevail in any economy.
Undoubtedly, most organizations today are going through challenging times. In fact, some of the difficulties facing us right now may draw comparisons to the tough economic times of the 1970s – but here’s the good news. That era turned out to be a good opportunity for companies that worked smart and used technology to thrive and survive the lean times. FedEx, Southwest Airlines, Microsoft, Apple, Genentech and others were born in the 1970s. This will happen again. Organizations today that use business analytics to create insight that drives value across the business, provides data that is easy to understand, and prepares for the future will be the ones that make the better decisions now and the ones who ultimately succeed in any economy.
Competing on Business Analytics: The New Age of Smart Decision Making is a high-impact series designed to help corporate decision makers like you better understand how to uncover the competitive insights that are often hidden in data – enabling your organization to reach evidence-based decisions and:
- Solve complex business problems.
- Manage for performance to achieve measurable business objectives.
- Drive sustainable growth through innovation.
- Anticipate and manage change.
Join us for dinner and network with senior executives facing challenges similar to yours. Then listen in as our thought leaders give insights and discuss best practices for how business analytics can enable you to meet the unique challenges of a volatile economy, regulations, talent shortages and increased competition – and emerge even more competitive. We hope you can join us for this important event.
