9:15 - 10:30 a.m. | Presentation: Five Key factors for Predictive Analytics Opportunity Identification |
| Excitement and interest in new technologies is often driven by exaggerated expectations of their potential. As these technologies begin to mature, their strengths, weaknesses and the conditions under which they are best utilized, become increasingly better understood.
This session objectively addresses the potential of Predictive Analytics and the conditions under which this technology is most effectively utilized. The presentation covers five critical features on which to evaluate candidate opportunities for Predictive Analytics projects, how to proceed when these conditions are not met, and the threats to proceeding with a project when there are deficits to any of these conditions.

10:30 - 10:45 a.m. | Break |
10:45 - 11:45 a.m. | Presentation: How to Engage with Low-Risk/High Impact Predictive Modeling
Many Predictive Analytics projects fail due to faulty project designs. It is very easy to attempt to apply sophisticated solutions to complex problems in the hope of generating significant advances in performance. This presentation focuses on an alternative perspective of approaching Predictive Analytics projects as a series of incremental enhancements in a way that reduces risk of failure, enhances Return on Investment and allows for extensive flexibility in adapting the project design as new insights become available. |
11:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Closing Comments & Wrap-Up |
