Leading Mission-Critical Analytics Teams and Programs

By Meighan Berberich, President, TDWI

Analytics and data science have moved to the forefront of business decision making. The size and scope of the organizations and the complexity of tools and technologies that support these mission critical initiatives only continues to grow. It is critical for analytic leaders to maintain focus on the key factors that drive success of their analytics teams and deployments.

TDWI Accelerate will not only provide analytics leaders with insight on what’s new (and what’s next) in advanced analytics, but also on the factors beyond technology that are instrumental to driving business value with data.

Check out our leading sessions during this interactive and engaging three day event:

Designing for Decisions
Donald Farmer, Principal, TreeHive Strategy

Over the years, Business Intelligence has grown in many directions. Today, the practice can include data mining, visualization, Big Data and self-service experiences. But we’re still, fundamentally, in the business of decision support.

As analysts and developers we can support better business decisions more effectively if we understand the cognitive aspects of data discovery, decision making and collaboration. Luckily, we have a wealth of fascinating research to draw on, ranging from library science to artificial intelligence research.

We’ll explore the implications of some of this research, in particular how we can design an analytic experience that leads to more engaging, more insightful and measurably better decision-making.
