Analytics Leadership Forum

ALF is a forum for executives and senior business unit leaders transforming their organizations with advanced analytics and AI (artificial intelligence)

With an intimate learning cohort of fellow senior leaders, executives from a spectrum of business, public sector and nonprofit organizations jointly investigate the challenges of successfully adopting and scaling analytics, learn with and from each other, and build their own analytics leadership capabilities.  We explore the key elements of the transformation playbook through discussion, participatory exercises, and breakouts; and encourage attendees to form a personal vision/action plan for themselves.  Program facilitators are drawn from the ranks of the Firm's advanced analytics transformation leaders as well as our deep data science experts and solution specialists.  

ALF is now a proven successful virtual program, consisting of seven sessions over three weeks.  It’s not a webinar, but rather a conversation.  The virtual ALF emulates the learning experience of our in-person forum:  integrated content, interactive flow, and connected community.  Leaders who complete this program will emerge with confidence and capabilities to better guide their organizations and operations toward new ways of working.
