ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Data has become a powerful tool in business optimization. However, data analytics often proves a tough concept for people to grasp. However, one sport has helped many people understand the power behind interpreting large sets of information: Major League Baseball.
Since the early 90's data has had a huge impact on baseball and has transformed the league, all the way from player selection during the offseason to defensive positioning within each inning of a single game. Now, in every game in Major League Baseball, there are over seven terabytes of data generated.
In a similar fashion data is now transforming the business world. If we can start to understand how successful baseball teams are driving change, then there are lessons for how and why internal audit needs to drive change, as well. But how can we transform the best practices and insights from the field to useable knowledge in business areas such as internal audit? And how can you combine classic data analytics with other tools and technologies for maximum effect?
In the upcoming live webcast with Brian Mensink (KPMG USA) and Daniel Hughes (PAFnow), you will gain key insights into how you can use the baseball sabermetrics approach to strategically align your internal audit processes and support them with Process Mining.
