>> Information Democracy--The Rise of the Performance Network
Frank Buytendijk
 
The business case for BI has always been difficult to define, other than ?better insight leads to better decisions.? Sharing information with multiple stakeholders, however, builds a much more tangible business case. In this keynote, Frank Buytendijk will share where most organizations are in using information as an asset, which will include many business cases. He will also explain why most performance-management methodologies focus on the wrong question, leading to dysfunctional organizational behavior.
 
>> Best Practices in Implementing Predictive Analytics
Wayne Eckerson
 
Predictive analytics surface patterns within large volumes of data that organizations can use to take proactive steps to correct problems or capitalize on unforeseen market demand. Predictive analytics enables organizations to drive greater value from their data warehousing investments. Using research conducted by TDWI, this keynote will define predictive analytics, analyze market adoption, and make recommendations for successful implementation of a predictive analytics practice.

Featured Tracks in San Diego
http://www.tdwi.org/info.aspx?id=39514
 
While TDWI conferences always cover the full spectrum of business intelligence and data warehousing, the conference in San Diego will also include weeklong tracks of courses that will broaden your knowledge, skill, and ability in the following areas:
 
>> Business Analytics
 
Organizations increasingly depend on business analytics to be competitive and drive positive business actions. Understanding and utilizing analytic techniques such as predictive analytics, data mining, and data visualization leads to better performance management. Luckily, today?s business analytics is enabled with technology solutions such as OLAP, dashboards, and scorecards. From beginner to advanced, there are 15 full- and half-day courses for you to choose from to broaden your knowledge of (and ability to implement) business analytics concepts, techniques, and technologies.
 
>> Bringing Business and IT Together
 
For those in IT--architects, developers, implementers, and operators of BI systems--a solid grasp of business terms, concepts, and principles is crucial. For those in business--from sponsors to data analysts--a higher level of technical literacy and understanding is required. Both need to strive for cooperation, collaboration, partnership, teamwork, and a final resolution to the long-standing business/IT divide. Technology professionals and business sponsors alike will benefit from this in-depth program focused on aligning business and IT.
 
>> Data Management
 
We know that data is one of our most valuable assets in providing a factual basis for gauging our business success. Data must be governed from its inception, through analysis and design, data integration, and ongoing data quality programs. This conference brings you 13 data management courses focused on data governance, metadata concepts, data modeling, dimensional data modeling, master data management, and data quality.
