An Analytic Prescription

Developing a Robust Strategy and Culture


The health care and life sciences industries lag financial services and retail in bringing analytic expertise to the front of the business. The biggest barrier is cultural – the need to adapt people’s mindsets and business processes, and to create a culture where people understand, value and demand fact-based decisions and strategies.

At the May 2014 SAS Health Analytics Executive Conference, industry leaders from Dignity Health, Highmark Health, Eli Lilly & Company, and SAS shared what they have done to prove the value of analytics to their business leaders and develop an analytic culture in their organizations.
