Analytics Leadership During a Crisis

With extreme levels of uncertainty and emotions running high, making decisions during a time of crisis can be chaotic. Traditional data sources have limited value, information is changing constantly, and impatient decision-makers don't respond well to requests for more time to gather evidence. To make matters worse, you're probably working with mathematical models that weren't designed to anticipate a crisis, and there isn’t enough time or data to update them. It can be especially frustrating for analytics professionals who want to help but are sidelined because the chaos does not allow for methodical analysis.

If you're looking for ways to implement better data-driven decisions during a crisis, watch this on-demand webinar, which was originally presented by FICO's Zahir Balaporia at the INFORMS Business Analytics Conference. Zahir discusses how analytic team leaders can be a constant amidst chaos, providing strong and pragmatic strategies and tactics during the crisis, through the recovery, and toward a better future.
