Competing on Decisions
When: Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Topic: Neil Raden and James Taylor introduce a new competitive concept – Competing on Decisions. Thanks are due to Tom Davenport for raising the awareness of the need for analytics in his book, “Competing on Analytics.” Seeking out the increasingly small margins required by competitive business pressures has brought analytics into vogue, typically requiring vast amounts of digestible data .Getting their arms around this deluge of new and existing information, organizations realize that they can gain analytic insights customers, products, channels, partners and much more. But some companies are already finding that analytics is only a part of the process – the intelligent application of the findings of these new insights can only pay off if the decisions that are made are correct. By becoming decision-centric, by using business rules to control those decisions and by leveraging their data to make the best decisions companies are increasingly competing on decisions.
Highlights:
- What is a decision in a business context?
- Why decisions matter
- Why decisions are different
- How business rules control decisions
Other Keynotes at this Year’s Events include Tom Davenport, author of the bestselling book Competing on Analytics and Professor at Babson College, will deliver an exclusive video keynote on “Decision Making, Decision Management and Technology.” and Ron Ross, author of numerous definitive books on business rules, will deliver the opening keynote “From Here to Agility”.
