Adapting and integrating insights from decision science, constraint theory, and process improvement, the book provides a method that is clear, effective, and can be applied to nearly every business function and sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou will learn how to systematically work backwards from decisions to data, estimate the flow of value along the chain, and identify the inevitable value bottlenecks. And, importantly, you will learn techniques for quantifying the value that can be attained by successfully addressing the bottlenecks, providing the credible support needed to make the right level of investments at the right place and at just the right time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn today’s dynamic environment, with its never-ending stream of new, disruptive technologies that executives must consider (e.g., cloud computing, Internet of Things, AI\/machine learning, business intelligence, enterprise social, etc., along with the associated big data generated), author Steven Flinn provides the comprehensive approach that is needed for making effective decisions about these technologies, underpinned by credibly quantified value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You’ll Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand data-to-learning-to-action processes and      their fundamental elements\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover the highest leverage data-to-learning-to-action      processes in your organization\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the key decisions that are associated with a      data-to-learning-to-action process\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnow why it’s\u003ci\u003e NOT\u003c\/i\u003e all      about data, but it \u003ci\u003eIS\u003c\/i\u003e all about      decisions and learning\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetermine the value upside of enhanced learning that      can improve decisions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork backwards from the decisions to determine the value      constraints in data-to-learning-to-action processes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate people, process, and technology-based solution      options to address the constraints\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantify the expected value of each of the solution      options and prioritize accordingly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement, measure, and continuously improve by      addressing the next constraints on value\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBusiness executives and managers seeking the next level of organizational performance, knowledge workers who want to maximize their impact, technology managers and practitioners who require a more effective means to prioritize technology options and deployments, technology providers who need a way to credibly quantify the value of their offerings, and consultants who are ready to build practices around the next big business performance paradigm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-04-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781484235300\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4842-3531-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 191\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47696577298572,"sku":"9781484235300","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781484235300_e6558f5b-6234-4001-bd3a-c654e328b38e.jpg?v=1776777662","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781484235300","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
