LEVERAGING ADVANCED ANALYTICS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Recognizing key business drivers and value-creating opportunities –
while concurrently identifying and managing risk – are common strategic
objectives of senior executives striving to enhance business performance
within their organizations.
Increasingly, gaining critical insights from large amounts of data on
consumer behavior, customer satisfaction, competitive trends, and risk
exposures is a critical skill required for senior executives to achieve these
objectives.
In the second session of the Risk Institute Executive Education Series,
Fisher College of Business Marketing and Statistics Professor,
Greg Allenby, and practitioner expert, Tim Ringo, Director and UK
Market Leader, North Highland Consulting, discuss how to develop an
analytical approach to anticipate and analyze a company’s business
environment so that the organization can be proactively competitive,
manage risks and create value.
Participants will engage in workshop exercises to learn how to
strategically approach the increasingly larger amounts of data available to
their organization, and analyze the competitive environment and related
risks facing the company with the goal to create value. The session’s
engagement component also provides participants with the opportunity
interact with other senior executives across industries.
Executives will learn to:
• Separate the relevant and leverageable “signals” that are often hidden
among the “noise” in data to understand customer and competitor trends.
• Gain empowerment through analytics by making sense of data drivers
an
and seeking contextual clues for the “golden nugget.”
• L
