PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB) December 11, 2017 -- The International Institute for Analytics (IIA), the leading independent research and advisory firm focused exclusively on helping clients improve their analytics performance, revealed its list of analytics predictions and priorities for 2018. Co-Founder Tom Davenport, Chief Analytics Officer Bill Franks and Lead Faculty Member Bob Morison hosted a discussion on upcoming analytics trends and pressing issues organizations can expect in 2018. The three are also authors of IIA’s corresponding 2018 Predictions and Priorities report.
“It’s more important than ever for analytics professionals to know which trends to pay attention to,” said Franks. “This year, each of the six priorities provides specific guidance as to how practitioners and organizations can best prepare for, prioritize and adapt to, its corresponding prediction.”

3. Open source, proprietary analytical software, and the cloud are fully intertwined
4. Everybody claims to be a data scientist
5. Blockchain becomes a nemesis of analytics
