AI, BIG DATA, AND ANALYTICS: Current Landscape & Future Outlook - Wednesday, May 29, 2024
McKinsey's Global Institute foresaw in 2011 that big data analysis would become a crucial competitive factor for firms, driving productivity, innovation, and consumer benefit.

However, implementing big data management and analytics poses challenges due to the complexity of tools and skills required.

To achieve significant results, there's a need for more effective backend tools and greater emphasis on data-driven processes.
Additionally, this talk will discuss findings from collaborations with Henry Ford Health System and the Children's Hospital of Michigan.
