Predictive Analytics Workshop With the explosion of information, businesses are now able to produce results and ultimately measure performance for any given initiative. But how are solutions developed from this information and more importantly how do businesses action these solutions. This is about adopting the discipline of predictive analytics where businesses use prior or historical information to predict what might happen going forward. This discipline can utilize simple techniques such as Boolian type business rules for future decision-making or use more complex mathematical techniques such as predictive models as a means of formulating these decision rules.
The notion of making business decisions based on intuition and one's prior experience is becoming more the exception rather than the rule. Businesses are now adopting predictive analytics to provide a more quantitative approach in their decision-making. [ Full Seminar Description ]
