    The role of IT and business leaders in establishing data driven decision making

    Business leaders seeking to accelerate their digital business aspirations will need to consider how they (and their organization) make decisions. Digital aspirations will be scaled when the organization can take advantage of the ability to make more connected decisions that are more contextualized and operate in a continuous manner.

    Progressive organizations are already complementing the best of human decision-making capabilities with the power of data and analytics and artificial intelligence - to create opportunities to fundamentally change what they do. The quality of the decisions being made by these data driven organizations is giving them a competitive edge, especially on digital initiatives. Explore the latest insights by Gartner that can help you build a solid decision making framework with data and analytics.
