The whole show is quite long - almost an hour, in fact. So, to make it easier to digest, we've divided it up into different sections.
You can listen to the entire cast or, if you want to jump ahead to a specific section, all you have to do is move to the appropriate time for that section
Here are the sections and at the times at which they begin:
03:50 1. What is Predictive Analytics?
05:45 2. What are the signs that my business can benefit from Predictive Analytics
08:30 3. What can Predictive help me do?
