I was asked by the folks at Corinium Global Intelligence to give a keynote address and participate in a discussion panel at their Chief Data and Analytics Officer Winter Event. It was a great opportunity to provide a little more context behind our strategy of shifting from a project to capability-based approach to analytics application. I tried to weave in a few case studies just so people could see how some of this is actually applied as well.

It was interesting to note the commonalities that are emerging between health care and other industries as it attempts to develop these new business capabilities. Though healthcare’s understanding of how to develop and operate advanced analytics “at scale” is immature compared to, for example, it’s competencies around descriptive statistics in areas like quality measures, the market is evolving rapidly.
