In this webinar, Bill Franks will cut through the hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) to help the audience better understand what they need to know about the state of AI today. He will share examples of AI in action and the value it can drive, what AI can and can't do today, how AI differs from (and is similar to) other analytics approaches, tips on getting started, and perspectives on the future of AI.

Analytics can mean different things to different people depending on their background, perspective, and organizational context and culture. For example, for some, analytics serves as the underpinning of organization strategy and innovation, while others treat analytics as an alchemy yet to be fully understood. Regardless of where you are in your analytics journey, there are a number of best practices that help frame the discussion of analytics value and position an organization for success.

In this presentation, we will talk about the five best practice areas of analytics and the importance of design thinking as a tool to help us design and deliver analytic products and services that create value for organizations.

While there are many great data visualization and UI resources available today, this webinar is more focused on the topic of holistic user experience and the role that design plays in enabling delightful end-to-end analytics experiences that also deliver on the bottom line.
