Praise for the updated edition:
Paul Roma, Chief Analytics Officer, Deloitte Consulting LLP—
“Competing on Analytics both captured and stimulated a revolution
in the business landscape in 2007. It's great to have a new version
that incorporates the latest concepts.”Gary Loveman, Executive Vice
President, Consumer Health and Services, Aetna; former Chairman and
CEO, Caesars Entertainment—
“Nowhere is there a better case for analytics than in health care,
where the opportunity exists to dramatically improve health and
reduce cost by identifying and then closing gaps in care. As
Davenport and Harris make clear, the challenges are organizational,
not technological or empirical. It takes focused leadership and the
establishment of deep analytic capability to drive sustained
competitive differentiation.”
Praise for the original edition:
John Rowe, retired Chairman, President, and CEO, Exelon
Corporation—“Competing on Analytics will be invaluable to anyone
who is truly interested in making a difference in today's business
world.”
Rob Neyer, former columnist, ESPN—
“In business, as in baseball, the question isn’t whether or not
you’ll jump into analytics; the question is when. Do you want to
ride the analytics horse to profitability—or follow it with a
shovel?”
Steve Maritz, Chairman and CEO, Maritz—
“Davenport and Harris have raised the bar with their study and
insights into how analytics can become a competitive advantage.”
