INSPIRING ANALYTICS: TIPS AND EXAMPLES FOR ACHIEVING BETTER BUSINESS, NOT JUST BETTER SYSTEMSTimo Elliott
September 10-13, 2012Orlando, Florida
The last few years have seen massive changes in analytics technology, but organizations often struggle to take full advantage of these changes because they are focused on existing ways of working rather than future possibilities. You may be attending this conference primarily to learn about the updates to analytics technology, but please consider taking this opportunity to think about the higher goals of your daily work.
This presentation aims to educate, entertain, and inspire, with a wide range of examples of how people have used brand-new technology (big data, social analytics, mobile analytics, etc.) not only to remove existing analytics bottlenecks, but also rethink business processes and flip industry business models.
The best analytics system in the world is useless unless it makes a difference to the business, and explaining the new opportunities to business leaders is a critical part of any analytics project leader's role. This session is designed to give attendees concrete steps to make a real difference in their organizations.
Abstract
• Your job isn't about technology innovation; it's about business innovation.
• Organizations like yours have used analytics to change the way they do business, not just provide "better answers".
• By following some concrete steps, you can find opportunities for business improvement in your organization.

Millions of daily consumption profiles contain valuable information about customer behavior for a better energy management
typical size: millions of daily profiles1
Instead of exploring millions of individual profiles it is sufficient to take a look at the typical pattern in the data to understand user behavior. Those pattern are the basis for other follow-up processes
