Robert Morison – Analytics at Work

Start: May 24 2010 8:00 pm

Businesses are awash in information, some valuable, some suspect, some misinterpreted. Analytical methods can turn information into insight or, as in the subprime mortgage crisis, put Wall St. in the tank. Analytics at Work: Smarter Decisions, Better Results is a businessperson’s guide to making better use of information while recognizing its limitations, to relying more on analysis and less on guesswork, and to encouraging colleagues to become more informed decision makers. Coauthor Robert Morison will discuss how analytics already affects us as managers, employees, and consumers, and how to be smarter about the information we use.
