Super Models: How Operations Research Can Change Your Business for the Better

Overview Predictive modeling is no longer the purview of actuaries and accountants. Companies are now embedding and using mathematical modeling in a wide range of business processes, from advertising to customer service to supply chain management. Statistical models can hone in on individual customers and prospects, or pull back for an analysis of overall market activity or global trends. So who is using advanced analytics in business, and are they getting value for their investment? The presenter of this webcast will demystify the arcane terminology, explain how different modeling techniques are applied to business problems and help to understand what is needed to know to make effective use of analytics in the company.
