 When you think of the engines of the Illinois economy most people think of finance, insurance, and real estate. Manufacturing usually isn’t an industry that comes to mind.
As one of the largest manufacturing states in the country, Illinois is a bona fide manufacturing mecca that has an exceptionally rich and diverse industrial history.

This video discusses how D&A can quickly add huge enterprise value to these types of firms. The CEO, CFO, COO, and Private Equity teams in the crowd REALLY liked this segment.
 Executive and board level support is essential for data and analytics success, but who ultimately has responsibility for driving the culture and strategy across the organization?
 Many companies have been successful without analytics, but what got you here won’t get you there.
In this video Doug Laney and I discuss why a data and analytics strategy is essential to the long term survival and prosperity of every company today.
