Session 4 - The Rebirth of Predictive Analytics: Current Uses, New Developments & Greater Transparency

Different approaches to analytics, with a particular emphasis on predictive applications, signal a rebirth in the way information is used to make sound, even prescient decisions. This session details the best practices in predictive analytics and how they are used to power solid strategic planning initiatives.

This session looks at the various enhancement initiatives currently underway and what the industry should expect in positive results and adoption timeframes.
