More about Thornton May's keynote presentation
Welcome to the Age of Analytics. As we move forward from this point in time, the old "know" is no longer sufficient. In every vertical market, thinking and decision making have to be linked with the tools, processes and practices of analytics if we are to know and then act upon the physical and virtual worlds we simultaneously inhabit. Showing up is not enough. In the not-so-distant future, guessing and making things up, not having the right data and employing the wrong algorithms to the right data will come to be viewed as termination offenses. Hear compelling insights from Thornton's upcoming book, The New Know, and results from his multi-year analytics research.
- Who is ahead of the curve.
- Lessons from analytical heroes.
- Stories from some of the smartest practitioners in the world.
- What the future of analytics really looks like.
"Thornton is in the top tier of business technology industry intellectuals. I personally think he is a genius. My definition ... smarter than me and most everybody else ... always is out front on ideas and uses completely fresh perspectives on issues and challenges in business ... and balances it all with razor sharp wit. Nobody ever goes away after an encounter with Thornton without being enriched."
