  Analytics - From getting started with reporting to getting results with AI. 
  
  In this session, understand the fundamentals of how to be successful with analytics regardless of where you are on the "maturity" curve.  Are you required to climb the maturity curve or do you simply leverage the latest capabilities to build a business case to get started or to take the leap to the next capability.   How many organizations are overwhelmed, struggling to maintain IT spend justification?  Being okay with, understanding, and supporting where your organization stands in the analytics journey is key to showing and providing value.
  
  Learn from the "experts" and the "experienced" on how to get started if you haven't through how to sell a broader investment in one or more of the multiple types of analytics from reporting to prescriptive.
  
  In this session hear from the AI leaders from what would be considered two smaller organizations.   Understand how to succeed regardless of organizational size.
