Discover the breakthrough tool your company can use to make
winning decisions

This forward-thinking book addresses the emergence of predictive
business analytics, how it can help redefine the way your
organization operates, and many of the misconceptions that impede
the adoption of this new management capability. Filled with case
examples, Predictive Business Analytics defines ways in
which specific industries have applied these techniques and tools
and how predictive business analytics can complement other
financial applications such as budgeting, forecasting, and
performance reporting.

* Examines how predictive business analytics can help your
organization understand its various drivers of performance, their
relationship to future outcomes, and improve managerial
decision-making

* Looks at how to develop new insights and understand business
performance based on extensive use of data, statistical and
quantitative analysis, and explanatory and predictive modeling

* Written for senior financial professionals, as well as general
and divisional senior management

Visionary and effective, Predictive Business Analytics
reveals how you can use your business's skills, technologies,
tools, and processes for continuous analysis of past business
performance to gain forward-looking insight and drive business
decisions and actions.
