What are Predictive Analytics and Big Data?

Predictive analytics is a process where people bridge the gap between knowledge, data, and action. Big Data, which is a collection of data that is extremely large and complex, is increasingly making the list as a key trend. While it's a hot topic, most companies have not been successful at leveraging data for predictive analysis. Most organizations are still focused on siloed, historic data and examining trends versus forward-looking analytics. Especially for corporate and shared services functions, analytics will be a key differentiator and important contributor to an organization's strategy.

In this free webinar recording and slideshow presented by ScottMadden and APQC, you will learn what analytics is, the key drivers of analytics, the trends in the use of deploying analytics, the stages of analytics maturity, the key factors for establishing or improving an analytics function, and barriers to success.
