Data Analytics:
Hype vs. Reality?
Presented By
Jed Summerton
Jed Summerton, Founder and Managing Director of Data Mindset, LLC, will describe how to move from hype to higher profitability by using data to drive business processes to higher levels of performance.

The power of data is everywhere. No doubt you’ve heard hype and buzzwords about getting “actionable insights” from “advanced analytics ” that use “machine learning and artificial intelligence” to process “big data.” 

But what does all that mean, really? The promise may be real but usually involves more than meets the eye.

Becoming data driven requires a strategic view, forward looking KPI's and people who are willing to use the data to change their operating practices. The analytics program must:

  1. Align with your business vision
  2. Be driven by your stakeholders (not IT)
  3. Proven by demonstration or
  4. Pilot before making a major investment

Big data and analytics usually involve a significant investment of time, talent and treasure. 

This month's forum will describe the data-driven journey and how to navigate it successfully, avoiding the disappointment of hyped-up expectations.
