The quest for higher and sustained growth by organizations operating in the current dynamic and uncertain environment has necessitated making analytics a core organizational competency. Even as data-driven decision making assumes criticality, there is an aura created around this competency but its impact on organizational decision making is limited to a few organizational functions.  


To demystify analytics and its applicability across functions and its integration into organizational strategy, we are pleased to invite you for a special session to be addressed by Dr. Nitin Patel on “Empowering Strategic Decision Making through Analytics’, to be held on December 20th 2016, from 2pm-4.30pm at FLAME University Campus. Dr. Patel will interact with participants post the session.
