Title: The Science of Making Profitable Decisions
Date: Tuesday 10 July 2007
Synopsis: In the modern information era, managers must
recognize the competitive opportunities represented by decision–support
tools. New family of systems – called Adaptive Business Intelligence
systems – combine prediction and optimization techniques to assist
decision makers in complex, rapidly changing environments. These systems
address the fundamental questions: What is likely to happen in the future?
And what is the best course of action? Adaptive Business Intelligence includes
elements of data mining, predictive modelling, forecasting, optimization,
and adaptability. The talk introduces the concepts behind Adaptive Business
Intelligence, which aims at providing significant cost savings & revenue
increases for businesses. A few real-world examples will be shown and discussed.
