The Future of Everything: Analytics in Decision-making

 Decision-makers (managers, business analysts, and others) use certain analytics over and over to derive information and insights from data to provide four different perspectives:

  • Examining historical trends over a period of time of some measurement (Sales, Events, Customers, etc.),
  • Accessing events triggered by some problem (incidents of failure, waste, process errors, etc.)
  • Predicting what will happen in the future (forecasting), and
  • Implying some course of action based on relationships (causality, correlation, explicit relationships, etc.).

Within these perspectives, the decision-maker outlines steps to:

  1. Compare, Rank or both
  2. Quantitative, Semantic or both
  3. Statistical, Machine Learning or both
  4. Path Analysis
  5. Consolidation, Clustering or both
  6. Process, Data mining or both
