Success stories abound that extoll the use of “analytics” in a wide variety of fields and on a wide swath of problems. But there are valuable lessons to be learned from what didn’t work, whether a spectacular failure or just bumps in the road. In this talk, we describe real-world examples, some anonymous and most from the speakers’ decades of analytical consulting. We will describe pitfalls, misconceptions, and uncertainties commonly encountered by companies in their path towards adoption of analytics that led to failure, lost time, and wasted investment.

UPDATE: THIS TALK WILL BE LIVESTREAMED INTO AN ADDITIONAL THEATER
