Abstract:
|
This is the most exciting time in history to be a statistician. Through advancements in technology, vast quantities of data are being generated and electronically captured on a routine basis. Corporations that master the use of this information will have a significant advantage over those that don't. In addition, technological advancements have resulted in extremely powerful tools for statisticians. These tools enable better analyses. They also provide new ways to communicate the outcomes from the analyses, resulting in a widespread impact on the corporation. Whereas the opportunities are enormous, the challenges are formidable. This talk will focus on the organizational aspects as statistical consulting evolves from providing advice on smaller somewhat isolated problems, to working on the implementation of data-driven systems that have a major impact on key business processes within the corporation. The perspective will be from real-life statistical engineering experiences encountered at Lubrizol.
