Tom Davenport, the President's Chair in Information Technology and Management at Babson College, and renowned author, will headline an impressive list of speakers at the DAA Symposium on May 23 in Boston, MA.
Tom’s presentation will focus on "The New Quantitative Era – Creating Successful Business Change with Analytics”. In this session Tom Davenport, the creator of the "competing on analytics” concept, will describe what it takes to create analytics-driven business change. Hint: it’s not about the math. He’ll address the needed attributes of quantitative analysts, analytics group leaders, analytical decision-makers, and analytical organizational cultures. He’ll describe people and organizations that have made this transition, and how they went about it. Anyone who is currently doing or plans to do analytical work–or any businessperson who would like to benefit from the efforts of analytical people–will take away key lessons from the presentation.
The Boston DAA Symposium is a half-day deep dive into the evolution of digital analytics as it evolves to focus not exclusively on a website but across multiple channels such as social media, mobile, offline, and to move toward advanced analytical concepts such as optimization, prediction, and automation.
Expect to hear lessons learned, best practices, and new ideas that you can immediately take back to your offices from leaders in academia and business including skilled and experienced practitioners, consultants, and vendors.
The Steering Committee of the DAA Boston Symposium is comprised of Jonathan Corbin, John Lovett, and Judah Phillips.
