Emerging AI and ML Capabilities, Enabling the Informed Manager and Analyst
Recent advances in AI/ML analytics provide better insight into the information that managers and analysts rely on when making better decisions. The use of machine learning analytics by managers is best enabled when managers and business analysts have access to AI/ML knowledge, methods, techniques, and tools easy to use.

Essential Management Analytics, Four Key Business Analytics for Managers
Recent advances in analytics provide better insight into the information that managers rely on when making better decisions. Management performance is closely tied to the results of the decisions made by managers. Performance is best enabled when managers have access to tools and methods that are easy to use, apply to a problem or issue, and make sense for the tasks a manager executes.

Effective Strategic Alignment, Anticipating Strategy to Execution Impact
Change inside the organization and external to it must be assessed. Effective and productive managers should have the knowledge and skills to apply analytics using a systematic and structured method for alignment.

Effective Business Transformation with AI/ML, Leveraging Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
Rapidly changing technology such as the current wave of AI/ML can create chaos in an organization and a tendency to select large projects that fail. The reason is simple, it is not clear where to connect the AI/ML capability to the organization. Identifying points of value in applying these capabilities is essential to successful value achievement.
