Drive Your Organization’s Decision-Making with Big Data

WelcomeDear Business Colleague:In such a volatile global economy, today’s business leaders must be prepared to reshape and refocus their strategic and tactical priorities with lightening-speed and decisiveness. Rapid decision making and priority shifting requires more than simply fine-tuned intuition; it requires data and information that is available, assessable and translatable. This is why business analytics - using data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive models - has moved into center-stage.

However, many questions still surround business analytics. What exactly does it mean to become an analytical organization? How can it improve a company’s effectiveness and improve its competitive positioning? What steps are necessary to become an analytics orientated organization? How can company leaders create, champion and sustain an analytics vision?

Clearly, there are questions that need to be answered and a learning curve that needs to be addressed when a company decides to move from intuition-based decision making to a fact-based decision making environment. With all of this in mind, GSMI is pleased to present: Business Analytics Strategies Summit - Harnessing Big Data, Analytics and Intelligence for Superior Returns in Orlando, Florida on September 17-19, 2013. With a case-study focused agenda, two in-depth workshops and four informational tracks, GSMI’s Business Analytics Summit will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear from industry experts and colleagues, on key topics such as:

• Initial Steps to Becoming an Analytical Organization• Assessable Data Visualization• Social Media and Analytics• Driving Decision-Making with Data• Analytics Talent Acquisition

Join us to take part in the most case-study oriented business analytics program available on the market and take away new insight and information on successfully implementing an organization-wide business analytics program and vision.

I look forward to greeting you in Orlando this September.

Sincerely;GSMI

DUE DILIGENCEPROCESS

Black Swan uses both quantitative and qualitative analysis to evaluate investment programs. Using quantitative methods we focus on the contributing factors behind overall returns and to assess the investment manager’s ability to outperform benchmarks. The qualitative component allows us to reach a subjective decision about the ability of managers to produce attractive returns over multiple market cycles.

Quantitative Measures:

•Benchmarking•Performanceratio•Expenseratio•Absolutereturns•Trackingerror•Leading/laggingtrends•Tradingeffectiveness•Conflictsof interest

Qualitative Measures:

•Cost-benefitanalysis•Adherencetocovenants•Appropriatenessof assetpricing•Adherencetofiduciaryresponsibilities•Custodian/trusteeaccountability
